>>the learning itself is all the reason to buy an older car and makes the ownership experience all the more worthwhile and rewarding.<<

that's alot of what I'm seeing...guys "interacting" with the cars and having fun doing it. Old cars require lots of "participation" from regularly checking the oil to whipping out a few tools to fix something...guys that don't want to check oil &amp; interact won't like older cars of any type...guys that like playing with their toys in more than just driving are old car types...old car guys have to be open minded and versitle...taking life &amp; challenges as they come and able to work thru problems, sometimes on the fly...no safety nets....the adventure is the lure to me, overcoming the challenges when need be and enjoying the success's of effort the rest of the time.
