I agree with you one hundred percent!
I had a choice this last week: yes another vehicle, for $3700 mI could get a) a Jaguar XJS with a V12 in great condition OR b) a Freeway HMV with 3177 miles on it.
I was torn. You get so much MORE with the Jag.....but that's what they are worth these days. You very rarely see a Jaguar on the road up where I live, I stress "on the road", I'm a tinkerer, like everybody I admire fine craftsmanship..yet...the allure of doing 100 miles to the gallon in spartan condition appeals to me more. For comfort I have the Geos. I'm going to pick up the Freeway this week end, trailering it with a Dodge Caravan 3.3 that I use for my business.
Last year I almost indulged in a Town and Country vert with wood paneling , it "wood" have been great for my business, so I thought. But as I pay for my cars with "points" I get with my credit card, I just didn't have enough. And it would have been quite stressfull to think about Ricardo Montalban all the time.
Have agreat day.
