I'm not sure why the two guys above feel the need to attack me in my posts for thoughts that I shared in a previous thread. I don't know either of them and have had no dealings with either of them.

I like coming to this site because the majority of members are really great people - always helpful and supportive. Steve and the mods do a great job of keeping it that way. To that end, I would appreciate it if the two members I'm referring to would stay out of my threads going forward.

Anyway, here is the post that they are referring to. As you can see, I was commenting on the challenges that I am finding with old car ownership as I get older and the thought that if I do buy another old car, I would lean towards considering a driver quality car vs. a show quality car so I would feel more comfortable driving it around Toronto to my mechanic's shop vs having the expense of towing it.

I'd really like to hear other member's sincere thoughts on the question that I asked above. If you don't like me, my thinking, or my choice in cars, I have no problem with that. However, I ask that you simply ignore me and I will gladly reciprocate. No one here wants to read the childish digs.

"I sold my 67 Camaro this month, but it had nothing to do with the current bubble as it doesn’t appear to impact cars in Canada as much and I didn’t make any money on it. I’m turning 60 in a few months and I’m finding that I just don’t tolerate the hassles of old car ownership like I used to. Also, finding competent mechanics close by is a real challenge. One of our members worked on my car for me and was great to work with, but his shop is about an hour away in crappy Toronto traffic and a tow there cost $340 one way. I actually spent more money on tows than repairs in the 18 months that I owned it! I might drive a ‘driver’ quality car there, but I am too anal about a restored car to take the chance. This will clearly be a consideration with my next purchase, if I do make another. There is a Corvette shop about 10 minutes from my place, so I may go in that direction."
