Irrational Car Lust
If I had more money than sense, I would immediately buy this beauty on eBay:
Yeah, yeah, I know, it would be a money sink beyond belief, and the 1970 Opel GT was not even much of a sports car then. Today, it would be as sporty as most SUVs. They are still pretty and cute.
I have found with many things that the wanting was more fun than the having. I believe that's especially true of classic vehicles unless one has very deep pockets and a good towing service.
I used to want an early 70s Saab Sonett in the worst way...even though it's so small I don't think I'd be able to fit in the driver's seat!

ReplyDeleteIf I ever have to drive other people for a living, I'd want to do it in this.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm going to waste time and effort lusting after a car I'm never going to be able to afford, I'm going all the way...
