Carmak Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 My son and his girlfriend cruising our 60 Buick. Works on them with me so he gets to enjoy them. So glad Haggerty revised their policies a few years ago to allow owners children with clean driving records to be added as covered drivers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you are getting to enjoy your daughters' company, and I was just poking a little fun. We have all been there at some time in our lives. Just makes me shake my head since they're paying a premium for ragged looking jeans compared to a nice new pair. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarfan Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 (edited) What's popular with collectors changes as the collectors age. We were at Universal Studios Orlando last week and they have a Fast and Furious area. I thought about it and realized that the first movie is 23 years old now. The kids and teens running around the park weren't even born when most of these movies came out. The 'kids' who used to be running around in beater Hondas listening to Blink 182 and Avril Lavigne are now in their 40s and 50s. All those Fast and Furious kids are settled now with kids of their own and have some spare money. The cheap Hondas, Nissans, and Mitsubishis they used to run around in are now rare and even used up ones can be collector's items ready for restoration. Have you seen the price for a decent 99 Civic or Nissan 240SX? They go for crazy money! I even came across a post the other day where China is reproducing whole Toyota AE86 body shells for restorers. Edit: Not long ago, my 22 year old saw a 1970 Chevelle and the only attachment he had to it was from seeing Dom drive one in one of the movies. A lot of kids' current link to muscle cars comes from Dom driving around in 60s and 70s cars. Edited September 29 by oldcarfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've started looking at cheaper alternatives such as a first generation Ford Focus 3 door or early 2000s Civic hatch as a potential builder, except the prices on them is starting to climb. Also, my wife says I have to finish the 86 Toyota truck in our driveway first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
