How old is too old?

[mtmuley]

There’s no such thing as too old. It’s all a matter of how much time and money you want to sink into it. My 94 has been all over Montana and made road trips to Wyoming and Idaho. View attachment 420071

Thanks. My 16 year old is driving it. He would rather have it than a brand new one.

Me too. My 24 year old is counting the days that the old 86 Chevy comes his way. mtmuley

I think the $$$ thing is overblown with older vehicles. Say you have a $500 payment on a truck, which is pretty low in today's market. That's $6000 a year. You can make an older rig pretty damn bulletproof with $6000 as long as it's not a huge piece of shit to begin with.

Yep. I paid $6k for that truck 7 years ago. Other than routine maintenance, I’ve spent about $1k on it since then.

This has been my strategy for a while now. Works well. mtmuley
