Hey Bill,
What other car could you have bought for that $9172? A Geo metro? a used
minivan?Considering all the fun you've had I think it is reasonible,Say
you bought a Geo you (1) wouldn't have any fun (2) nobody would tell you
that you have a neat car (3) in 10 years it would be worth nothing.Say
you bought a $30,000 car you would have lost $9100 in depreciation the
first year!I've probably got over $5000 in my '79 B but I've had it
almost 4 years so thats only $1250 a year or about 4 bucks a day Hell I
spend more than that on lunch and I don't even remember what I had
yesterday and we all know what lunch turns into!Look at it as cheap
therapy and go out for a putt and have fun.
Pat
