Quote HistoryQuoted: You took a beautiful restored 73 and sold it for 49k and used that money to buy a 2022...Well in 5 years from now, the 73 will be worth 60k, and the 22 will be worth 22k... Man, that is just like buy high sell low...You dun broke... I don’t have to worry about that. The couple that bought it were awesome Americans. The wife grew up riding in her dad’s ‘73 Bronco.

Life changes. My mom had a 69' Chevell SS. It was her dream car, But she got tired of climbing out of it and grew tired of the attention when she drove it.
Sold it along with a 2005 Corvette with no regrets. |

I really like the new broncos, but I like the older ones much more.
Then again I love old cars/trucks. Hell the newest thing I own is a 2001 F250 diesel, and that's my tow rig. My daily is a 78 Porsch 911 in the summer, winter is just one of the many other vehicles we have. Hope you like it op, that's all that matters. That old Bronco was really sweet though, I love the color. |

I can understand why you did it. I have an 03 Rubicon on 35s all done up. I'm tired climbing into it and tired of falling out of it. Tired of getting beat up. Looking at 4 Runners. I would not even consider a JL or JK, they stopped being a jeep, like the 96 Bronco was the last of its kind. I wanted a Blazer or Bronco of that vintage, but stupid money and I can spend it on a more comfortable rig.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Driving old or muscle cars is a giant pain in the ass. Yup.

The reason I love older stuff is it seems to have a sole, where as the newer stuff just works. I enjoy working on my stuff though, and very seldom do I have any problems that don't allow me to drive home. |

I thing new cars are completely lame and pretty much hate them and think it’s laughable what people pay.
Would rather have 3 older broncos that don’t run than 1 brand new one. Even if the new one was half the price. |
