All good points everyone, I may lean toward what Dave said about the price of toys now a days. If it wasn't for the ability of paying for it in small chunks at a time, I wouldn't have one either.

I have to agree that a $20,000.00 built street rod is very appealing compared to a $50,000.00 or more corvette or Viper. Insurance is cheaper too. The clean air thing isn't an issue around here but I bet it is to alot of you, I can see that too.
