What is your realistic "my car is not for sale" price, but......

[monaco66coupe]

The cars we have and enjoy are pieces of our living and enjoying life.
For those of us that have struggled to get what we want to play with--the question of price is kind of creepy. It means turning pleasure into cash.
Is a big pile of cash better and more fun?

Some folks are driven to make the biggest pile of cash/value possible as a life's work. In that effort -enjoying what money can buy can be set aside until later.---Exactly when does later arrive?

IMO those that say "It's not for sale" understand what enjoying what we have really means.

I get teased for not driving my car much, they don't get it. I bought that car In Phoenix the week my youngest Daughter was born in March of 1985. I didn't have a pot to piss in, or a window to throw it out of. This car came up for sale on a Saturday in march. 1968 Charger $500.00, bad engine. I called my Mother, and told her if she didn't loan me $500.00, I was going to kill myself. She said: ok, what kind of car is it? Predictable. She didn't have much money, but she loaned it to me.
I paid her back a couple weeks later when I sold a Volkswagon I had for sale.
To this day, When I look at the Charger I see My Mother(now Passed) ragging at me, and my Infant Daughter now 33 and
A PHD Teaching at Cal- Davis. She has known this car her whole life.
It is a pristine example, and serves a very Important purpose. My wife told me when I kick off, every car will be sold, except the Charger. She doesn't even like cars, but we went on our first date, and got Married with our main car a dark green 68' Charger. Money in comparison means absolutely nothing.

The age-old idea that everything has a -price- is true. An exchange is made based on "value" agreed upon by both parties.
What would one sell their beloved pet or child for? -- Would those extra$$ make life move forward to more comfort and glory?

Well mine not for sale and I'm just starting on it. This is the second one i have owned the first one was a 500 and the second one is a 440. I was 16 yrs old on the first one and bought for 150.00 from a buddy of mine. After dumping a ton of cash in it i sold it now 40 something years later i got a chance to rebuild that dream so not for sale.

I have owned at least 60 dodge chargers from 1976 to 1994'. But one of the most memorable was a lime green 69' 383 HP car. Sold it for 1500 or so. A week later at the bar with co- workers after work was a news story with cameras showing a lime green Charger that the police had been chasing, and the bank robber eventually ran into a six foot chain link fence by an outdoor movie theater! It was trapped like a coon in trap. Apparently the Guy who bought it from me decided he got tired of working for a living! The cops called me and said there was a title in the glove compartment with my name on it, with no buyer signature, do I want my car back? I said, sure! HAHA
