Try old classics, no need for expensive insurance, you can fix them yourself, much safer than toy styrofoam bumpered "compacts". Love'm! There was nothing like big American cruisers of the road.

That's what I did. My first car was a 77 Datsun F-10 sport wagon, which came from my pop and he had drove it for six years prior to that. I ended up working on my 83 Cutlass Supreme, which was a long term work in progress (still is), but five years later almost, I went from an underpowered grocery getter beater to a street rod. I didn't want to ruin the collector value of an old classic car, even one that was a run of the mill model, but I took and dropped a hot drivetrain in my modest looking beater and turned it into a very fast car--to be specific it has a 455 Rocket in it for speed and off the line torque, and for mild manners it has a 4spd automatic in it. 300 hp, 22 mpg on the highway, and yet because it was a V6 from the factory, only pay $425 every six months for insurance, and its cheaper to maintain, despite bigger engine, than it was stock because Olds parts are pretty cheap (though not as cheap as Chitty parts)..
