Shoulda, coulda, woulda. I have a few cars I said the same thing. Now I ply the back country roads in my 54 Buick. I always wanted a car from the 50's. I was not going to do the shoulda, coulda, woulda on that bucket list item.

Sentiment aside: it's the "stocker shock"! Those puppies go for $35 K+ these days in low-rider country. Driving your cool car is one thing, having an additional bank account is another. I had turned it in for $100 on my second car which was really my first 'sports car'... An orange 1976 Honda Civic with McPherson strut suspension No A/C(just go faster) Front wheel drive 1488cc CVCC transverse-engine with choke; bucket seats with 4 stick manual. That puppy lasted me 'till 1992 and 400,000
++ miles appraising homes in the steep roads of the Santa Cruz Mtns. Best car I ever had. Cheap; easy to maintain-when I was still into my own mechanic-werke ; and nimble in all traffic.
