If it wasn't for the free market, you'd be driving the 2005 equivalent of a Chevy Citation.

The Citation wasn't such a bad car, I remember we used those for driver's ed in the early 1980's. Also, my friend's parents had one, well the Pontiac version of it, I think it was the Phoenix, it did quite well, IIRC. Plus the radio was neat, it was up and down instead of left and right. It was the "first new Chevy of the Eighties," I remember the commercials. I admit I have a soft spot for the 1950's/1960's/1970's era American, land yachts, to me, they were the best cars.

Not surprised to see that comment after your previous post about the TV sets. Let's see, the 600 pre-Carter inflation dollars you paid for that 1971 Zenith would be about
3,000 dollars in today's money. Today that amount of money will buy you a 40+ inch diagonal flat screen HD TV with a picture that is like looking out a window. I will never comprehend people who act like progress is a bad thing.
