My oldest son's first car was a 69 Chevelle Super Sport. It burnt oil, the engine knocked, the suspension was shot, I would be afraid to drive it around the block but he thought it was the greatest thing on wheels.

Car styles are getting better, for a while they were bubble cars. They looked like half-inflated balloons.

I wouldnt either. They are popular in Utah with all the big families, but for just one or two people they are a waste.
