Yeah Cloud, I'm not talking about you. I'm confident you have your head screwed on right with this purchase. You've given it a lot of thought, and I think it's a good car you are looking at.

Classic, for me, a shit car is a car that is so old, it costs about a grand a year in repairs to keep running reliably. Even at a grand a year, it's still much cheaper than buying a new car. Once the body rusts out, then it's over, but until then, you can keep a car going for much cheaper than buying new.

Bruce, you're right. The hard part of what I'm talking about is getting that first car. I inherited my grandfather's car when I started out, and got a few years out of it. Enough time to buy my first real car with the money I had been saving.

The other option is to spend a couple grand on a car that will cost a grand a year to maintain. Many don't have the funds for that.
