I'm all for frugality when it comes to cars. Purchased my current car new for $16,000 six years ago (it's tiny). Only has 21,000 miles on it, and I intend to keep driving it until it doesn't go anymore (which should hopefully be a long time, given the low mileage). .

I've been driving for 44 years and have always had unique to semi classic cars. Not counting money spent on routine mainetenance on them, I am out of pocket roughly 35K for the entire 44 years and always had fun cars to drive,

Since this a now a vacation and car thread. I currently have a few toys. And since we are all about the money, I wasted perhaps $12K on this one. Always wanted to build a streetable car that would lift the front wheels. I don't get to the track much lately because it has a bad habit of busting axles and other such inconveniences that make it hard to drive home. This was a warm-up run for a charity event later in the day. A bunch of us threw up some parts and labor for a young man with terminal cancer and built him a pretty fast 85 Mustang. He got a few runs in before he passed way. I should dig up a pic of his 85 Mustang GT we built.
