I am in the middle of a restoration project. I picked the simplest car around with the easiest to find parts.....

1969 VW Beetle convertible. It’s a labor of love.

Nothing wrong with that, its the cheapest car partswise I have ever seen. I can’t stand vehicles or motorcycles that require expensive parts.

I have an older 1980 Honda CX 500 bike, any part new from Honda costs an arm and a leg though used parts from Ebay are cheap.

I have pretty much given up owning a car...ever, they just don’t have any long lasting appeal to me, not the Corvette, Camaro or the Mustang, no interest. The cars I do find of interest are the very limited production types, I like being the only person for over a hundred miles with something different. A DeLorean would have been nice.

I drive a 2002 Chevy Silverado 3500HD dually, has an 8.1L big block, terrible gas mileage but I love it, my dream truck is owning a customized Peterbilt, I drive one all day long but I want one just to own it, Peterbilts last forever.
