"If a WOman did not grow up with these cars when they were new, She might not have the same love and patience for them."
I agree that an old car is not for everyone and it takes a huge amount if dedication and skill to keep one going.
I daily drive a 68 dart and its my only transportation by choice. There have been many times I was on the side of the road watching newer cars wizz by but I stay loyal.
I am 32 so I didn't see these cars new but I would argue that I have more patience than a lot of pensioners who are bailing for a new fiat challenger because they just want to drive and not ever wrench..... so I disagree on that one.
If mr.muumuu got married, i think that is a good reason to bail. I stay single because I am not going to let some guy tell me what to do and make me sell my cars and stop doing what I love, but a normal person would put a marriage before cars and hobbies. :)
