Hello spridgets,
my daughter recently turned 16, and is about to get her driver's
license... and we were able to get for her a 1987 Toyota MR2. .. not
a sprite, but at least a two seater sports car. $1000. needs a
little work, but what used car doesn't? .. i think she can drive it
for the next 10 years, get married, have children (IN THAT ORDER!!!)
sell the car because she doesn't have the room, anymore, raise the
kids and wish she still had "that first car" and find out, in her
mid to late 40's that the car she got for $1000 and sold for $500 10
years later is now (will be?) worth $25,000 -> 40,000
we have been talking at work, which cars out there NOW will be
collector cars in another 20 years or so, that is, what should we be
buying up... .. i think gas is going to go so high that BIG V-8's
won't be driveable anymore, and these little 4 banger rice rockets
that all the kids have will be the "nostalgia-mobiles"...
