LOL, yeah, but at least they haven't sunk like the stock market lately.
And I agree that the time and effort I have put into my car has been one
of the best learning experiences I've had lately (unless you count -
don't invest in Yahoo).
In a perfect world, I think I'd like to have some cars that were already
done to a high level, while I had others that required more attention.
I watched a little last night and really laughed when Don Johnson's fake
hemi Cuda went for 140k. But I still say, there are a couple of really
nice cars that sold at fair prices.
