I agree that we all will have our own opinions, and I respect yours as well as others, I appreciate that you respect mine..
I'm one of those people that cannot see spending 20 grand for a car, much less possibly 80 grand for a "techno-whiz-banger" that is more name than anything else..
I still own the first new car I ever bought.. a '70 Datsun 510 station wagon. After over 200K miles I rebuilt everything and repainted the 510.. it looks as good (maybe better) than these new "econo-boxes" on the road today. Less normal maintainance but including original purchase price and the price to re-do everything I have less than $8000 in the Datsun.. seriously cheap dependability. It's now at 316,000 miles and used daily.
Even my XK 120 DHC (which Basil was so kind to post a couple of pictures) hasn't put me over the 10 grand mark yet.. you can't buy a car today with that kind of power and style for that price..
