We’ll all be like Cuba, driving 50 year old cards held together with duct tape and chicken wire because you can’t get a decent new car.

Until they outlaw GM 350 crate engines we should do a bit better, except maybe in the rust belt.

“We’ll all be like Cuba, driving 50 year old cards held together with duct tape and chicken wire because you can’t get a decent new car.”

My cars are a 57 Bel Air, a 67 Camaro and a 49 Chevy pickup. While there is some duct tape and chicken wire involved, I figure my cost to upgrade all three to tip top shape is $12,000. All three. Pimped out.

Now compare that to what it would cost for me to buy three comparable EVs. Plus, my cars will be just as driveable in 10,20, 100 years as they are now while those EVs will only be good for dumpster fires and need replacement. And my old beaters will be pimped to the max over time.

My family doesn’t appreciate what I’m doing. But my grandkids will.
