Money & Economics

Yeah it’s cheaper to insure a 73 Pinto :rofl:

Seriously I think insurance rates across the board may start easing if for no reason other than the peasants have reached their limit

I don't know .. costs are up for car repairs, parts and labor way up. Oil is the only thing I see cheaper.

LOL you were one of the cool kids!

My first (early 70s) was a 1964 push button Dodge Dart (225 slant 6) I think I paid $500 for. There was a lot of Bondo and duct tape holding the right rear fender together. I don’t have any pics but here’s what she looked like.

A friend of mine back then had a 4-door Rambler, lol, funny story but he did not clamp down his battery so we took a corner too fast then noticed smoke coming out of his hood, pulled over to find his engine on fire, ran to neighbors house to grab their hose.
What had happened is the battery tipped over against the steel fuel line, no hoses that I remember back then, well the battery post made a hole which started a fire...thinking about it the fuel line may of been aluminum...either way, lesson learned...haha
