Get whatever makes you happy. You're a grown up.

Thanks. I just don't wanna look like a fag or drive a girlie car, all I've ever driven for 30 years is Ford F150's.

I'm afraid a car would sit pretty low after all those trucks.

it'll feel like a go cart after a truck

Yes, and I don't know if I could get used to it, yikes. Maybe.

I guess it depends on what you want to spend and your actual definition of muscle car. I have some years on you and when I was a young man (forever ago) I had two 70 Chevelle Super Sports. I loved em both. Back then you could buy muscle cars by the friggin dozen, cheap. But if you want a rag top and something cool, think about a classic car LIKE a 70 Chevelle (not an SS) a Camaro, a Cutlass, and Older Muskrat, a Torino etc. Basically the base platform cars that they made the muscle cars out of. this way, you get something YOU can wrench on, is much easier and cheaper to maintain and you don't break the bank nor buy something you'll be hesitant to drive lest it get wrecked.

classic converts break the bank to buy a decent example.

He could get a teens mustang of camaro convert for a lot cheaper.

Nice clean examples of classic muscle are simply hard to find for reasonable prices, while the late model camaro and mustang are all over the place.

classic converts break the bank to buy a decent example.

Depends on what you mean by breaking the bank. Are they cheap? Nope. I am taking into account that at 55 the fellow has something behind him financially and is looking to splurge in life a bit. Realistically though the prices on cars (if you dont get stupid and but status symbol shit like Tesla and Lexus are about a years salary cost wise, same for classic cars. Example...When the 70 SS came out it was basically a dollar a pound car and listed out at 3800-4000k depending on options. In 1970 that was a years salary for a lot of people. Now its 50-60k. Same difference.

As a throwaway financial position, (any car bought to actually drive it for lots of fun and not just collect and put maintenance money in to allow it to sit), cars arent good toy investments. rarely do you get one that you can drive and it holds its value. Dumping 60K into a toy... When you know nothing about those toys not the best choice.

I wouldnt drive around a 70 Chevelle (to use the example given, it holds true for most classic convertibles) convert, too few of them left to drive it around. The first dumbass, and its gone. It will never be a 60K car again. Sure drive it to a show 3 or 4 times a year... Take it out once in a great while on a sunny day. You dont daily that shit.

With no car knowledge, he obviously isnt going to collect the car, at that point, true classic muscle, breaks the bank. Its a throwaway toy, not a purchase worthy of classic muscle.

I think mustangs are great cars for most fags.

Oh man, no, I don't wanna look like some fairy..

Might be me, but every time I see a mustang, I see a fag. Either a legit fag, or some loser who is trying to hard to look cool, but looks like a fag.

[–] • 0 pt

Yeah, I think you're right. I'll put a gun rack in mine and a Trump bumper sticker. Or maybe I'll get a BMW (unless that would be worse lol).

Buy what you want bro. Don't let people Affect your wants. I'm in my 30's and I'm still a weeb, I still dick around with airsoft. I still play videogames. But I also like working with my hands and have been thinking to buy some wood working tools. Even though I have little prior Experience with wood working.

You're a good man (and thanks).

Why not go rent a few cars you like first, see how many women look your way, then make a decision?

[–] • 1 pt

That's an excellent idea, I might do that.

What about a four door, kinda need one. (Thanks for your response.)

You had about the same thread last week, some comments are déjà vu all over again. Decide against a Tacoma or jeep?

[–] • 0 pt

Yes, and I'm totally not sure what to do. I would lean more towards a Tacoma I think.

[–] • 0 pt

I will focus on the 2019s then, thanks.

Just don't be the guy that get's everything branded to match his car. The corvette gloves, hat, coffee mug, etc combo. Little fucking model car on his desk.

Naw! Go for it.

But there's a guy here named @morbo and he always mocks me because I'm getting old but want a nice convertible. Should I get a BMW instead, or one of those older Chrysler ones (I'm not much of a car person)...I would get a Mazda Miata but man they seem small (and I want back seats).

[–] • 2 pts

Since you seek Morbo's approval in what you do in life, you show yourself as being like a manlet. Real men just do what they want despite what others think about them. Be a man, Bopper. I don't consult internet dwellers opinions when I wish to do something. Morbo owns what Morbo wants to own and that's that. You feel me?

[–] • 0 pt

I feel that, yes. I take that Alex Jones muscle stuff and that makes me virile and manly.

I had an 81 bronco 4x4. Top came off. Best of both worlds, convertible and a truck.

[–] • 1 pt

Wow, yeah I would buy one of those, been looking into the new Broncos but I dunno..

[–] • 2 pts

I'm not a car person either, but if you like something and you can afford it, buy it now while you still can!

I plan on keeping my classic ICE vehicles as long as possible.

[–] • 1 pt

What does "ICE" stand for? (Told you I was dumb.)

[–] • 0 pt

Yeah, I mean I could buy a Corvette (used) if I wanted but that would be pretentious for sure.

Wanna know how dumb I am?

I'm not even sure how many seats a Corvette has (like back seats, I doubt it).
