Ditto.

Myself; Classic cars & bikes are nice to look at, but unless you have the resources to repair or the income, I wouldn't pay anything for a classic. had a mint classic Vette, and was afraid to even turn the key & start it. I want something I can drive or RIDE without fear of breaking down every time i turn the key.
