I own too many cars. Older cars. My newest is my wifes 1997 Toyota Rav4, and it has nearly 180k miles! I am not complaining. Being a mechanic for the past 30 years, I have an advantage, that I can FIX what I choose to own.
So, in April of 2011, I found a "basket case" GTV6...and brought it back to life, and what a life its treating me too! I pity the poor souls who conform to the "norm" of owning an ordinary car....they think its impossible to have a classic. They will spend 25 to 30 thousand on a new car...and then watch it DROP in value like a stone!
Today I drove my GTV6 to work....different...set apart...looks and stares of strangers wondering, "what is that?"
My V6 purring like a cat ready to play or strike....no regrets....I own another piece of history.
Its getting better all the time.
