Hey Chris,
What makes you think that you're an 'adult' ?
You still 'play' with little cars like I do !!
Lol

Well, chronologically I'm an adult. In my head, however, I'm 17 & 8 months and very much a youthful idiot! 😏 😏

Ahh, there are really no cars anymore that excite me 'n get my blood flowing like the one's available in the '60s - '70s.
My heart is broken... 😭

My dream car is still a '71 - '72 Pantera. I wish I would've got one when they were still attainable at my income level.
I sure messed up. Just like selling my '70 Trans-Am because gas went over $1 a gallon.
I'm an idiot !!!

@jack-dodds, back then, they were all just used cars. The price of gas was a real consideration. None of us were making as much as we do now, even those of us that are currently on a fixed income. Then, there was the insurance problem. Prices on muscle cars went through the roof! For many of us, it was the last straw. We sold or traded in.

@jkuvakas Quite right John. I remember going from a '72 Cougar to a '75 Pinto (mind you it did have the 2300 c.c. engine..lol).
