I was just thumbing through a copy of Hemmings Motor News from October 1980 I came across some time back in a pile of old magazines I have and there are things like, "69 SS Camaro Convertible, $2500.00" "67 Chevelle 325hp 396, $2500.00" ""72 Monte Carlo 402 TH400, bucket seats with console, loaded with factory options, excellent condition, 38k miles, $2700.00" etc, etc. Somewhere in there (I can't find it right now) is an Orange 69 Z-28, 40k miles for 2k. And at that time, I was thinking that man, Some of these cars are starting to get expensive. The 70's were a glorious time to be young and have enough money to spend on cars, I just didn't appreciate it properly at the time.

So maybe our cars will be valuable collectors items one day, but I don't have 40 years to find out.

Isn't it always like that though, we experience something great and then years later it hits us how absolutely amazing it was and if only we had known, we would've appreciated it even more...

Don't say you don't have 40 years, living for 90+ years isn't hafl as rare as it used to be, even 100+ years is no longer unthinkable.
