in a way thats true. we make our horsepower cheaper and more for the amount of money. like i was watching hot rod tv the other day they decided to do a honda i was like pff so i watched it so i could laugh at them. they spent 1 grand and gained 10 horsepwoer. went from 87 to 97 not even 100!!!!! they put a header an intake <very geniusly put right behind the bumper cover> i mean damn if we put headers and a good intake on our cars we gain more than 10 i mean our horsepower is cheaper. sure the cars may cost a tad more but damn it they are an investment in 20 years what are people going to want? a dry rotted plastic rattle trap or a good soild hunk of american beauty? moral of story BUY AN OLD CAR reasons you ask? ill list a few.
1. its an investment the old car market place is growing all the time.
2.we can go faster make more horsepower for about half what they spend. i.e 1 grand we can make a hell of alot more than just 10
3.old cars have more style and class.
4.theres nothing like the feeling they have "the feel" theres nothing like the feel of driving an old car it is a time machine.
5. the thumbs up and comments you get everywhere you go people are yelling hooting and hollaring and always talking to you about the car's old people young people all walks of life.
6.they sound good <hehehhe>
7. you can actually work on them without needing a degree in rocket science.
8.they make good family projects and its cool to hand them down from generation to generation.
9. some of the best memories are in old cars.
10.its a time machine back to when times were more innocent. a time when a kid could walk in to a dealership check a few boxes and get a sweet car that with a few tweaks could pull 12's and lower easily for under 4 grand because horsepower was just a check away. people who were designing them cared. a time when people could have fun cruise hang out have fun. a time when we backed into cruise ins and opened our hoods now people pull in and open there trunk its alot more fun sitting on your hood then your trunk the times used to be good and these cars are the only way we can try to relive them. a time when even music reflected the new cars that were coming out. i.e gto, my ss396 and many more. those times may be gone but as soon as you get in your car its a time warp.....scooter
