Yeah, my Crawl-la isn't too quick, though I just suffice to call mine the Toymotor Crammy instead, because it's almost a compact car and I am like 6' tall and near 200lbs. I prefer full-size American cars from the domestic brands, they don't need to be specifically fast but just COMFY and roomy, and NOT new, new cars are ugly to me.

Yeah new cars are pretty ugly for the most part. The jagged edges and overall strange design are the worst parts. Over on the other extreme, the super curvy cars of the 90s are also pretty ugly.

It comes down to this, new cars don't have bumpers, one tap in a parking lot and you're out a good two grand. I could spend that on a bunch of brand new PC components and replacing my 3-year-old 4790k PC (not that I need to). New cars all look the same. I have enough issue forgetting where I parked the @#$%ing thing, and is part of why I hate WalMart so much "Drat, NOW where did I park the car?".

Plus what it comes down to also, is that, a Radiator/Condenser fan and shroud is 50 bucks, a fender is 56$ shipped (I paid 45$), light is 50$ or less, hood is 90$, starter is about 70$ and takes <2 hrs to put in (I replaced mine, and threw out my back in the process). Cost-efficient, common part availability, easy to fix, etc. So the Crawl-la will keep crawl-la-ing for a while yet.
