I wish I could throw cars away and get new ones...that takes quite a bit of
money these days. What was it, 3 grand for a new Chevelle? Today the
cheapest cars are more around $15,000 and all you get is 4 cylinders, 90 HP,
and a box on wheels. Nothing there to take pride in. Of course, with some
more money...I could take pride in a new Farrari. :)
