Some nice rides but I have to agree with you, they`re too expensive unless you can get a lot of use out of them.

Circumstances are different for all of us and for each of us they can change as well. In what I do, the main vehicle I drive cannot be an older 'project vehicle' because of what its summoned to do in terms of work and reliability. For others, it can and will suffice. I always struggle with keeping my vehicle looking as good as it can, yet still be used for work all the time! Vehicle ownership (whether purchased of leased) is getting very, very expensive if you want to stay quite current and especially so if the vehicle is a more expensive one.

I had to get a newer more reliable vehicle for my job too. When I have to drive 5-600 km/s one way to get to work, I cant be stuck on the side of the highway with my project. I did take the 89 a few times though, I trust that thing to go anywhere!

Thats also another reason I bought a honda car instead of a ford econo car, but thats a whole different topic

I drove a hour in and out of the city every week in my 1958 International and it never left me failed. The 1969 hs never failed me either going to work.

very nice F150 Lindenj, I want one like it when my old F150 wears out.
We just spent the last 3 months in texas and oklahoma, good winter break.
the old 82 pulled the 5th just great and was a good breakin run, we put on just over 14,000 km.
