I always say if you drive your classic 3x a year, you'll break down 3x. Drive it 3x a season, and the breakdown rate drops, moreso if it's 3x a month or better yet, 3x a week. I put more than 14k miles a year on my GT6 here in CO. Rain, snow, whatever the weather if not too bad I drive it.

I have a classic car that my grandpa got me when I was 16 years old and it's a 1977 Corvette I ve taken care of this car all of its life and I still own it and I am still taking care of of it

I own several classics, and this may be the best intro to the hobby that I have seen. The idea that you must enjoy it not just look at it in the garage.is key. Keep up the good work you guys are the real deal

GREAT tips, sound, sober and level-headed. These aren't static pieces of art. Even #1 cars WILL need regulary investment over ownership, and driving classics regularly is essential/"saves $" as all cars of a certain era need to be driven to make sure internal parts are lubricated, brakes don't lock up, etc. Love this channel, love watching -- and reading in the magazine! -- the Bugeye Sprite restoration!

WOW, I AM HAPPY TO HAVE FOUND THIS VIDEO & CHANNEL. I may be in the market for a classic car/s lol, your tips are insanely informative & thought-provoking.

Good suggestions. I would add that prospective buyers should check into parts availability.

I own a 1984 Porsche Carrera coupe restored to an outlaw style. I drive it wa-ay more than a few times a month. BTW, I raced it for seven years, too.

everything in life has overhead and maintenance costs (externalities), including personal relationships

I want to buy something classic. I want to be a mechanic so I don't think I will have trouble to fix it. I want to look from 1955 to 2005. I found a Dodge Regent from 1957 that I fall in love with. But I don't think I will have money to buy parts for it and it will sit and slowly die. Also I'm not sure how good an old car will drive in cold Canada winters, also rust, and old cars how I know have veey bad gas mileage. My dad suggest me to buy a SUV but I don't like SUV so much, they are soulless for me. I don't know what to do.
