My goodness.
A clapped out civic with 200,000 miles, is "just a car"
This is not that...

To each his own, indeed.
My Civic lasted 18½ years, 280.000 km and only died for rust.
I may have spent a whole year of my life in that car, all the hours added together.
It had a lot going for it too. Practical, reliable, reasonably comfortable, nippy, economical and cheap.
Its cheeky looks grew on me. I get a pang of regret every time I see one.
To me that humble Civic is much more dear than any other car could ever be.
I wonder what your relationship with the Firebird is, if any.
Bill has a relationship with his Firebird and decided to not part with the worn out car but salvage the good and match it with a better, more modern chassis and engine.
To me it sounds like a dream come true.
