If I had a ton of disposable income or win the lottery? For myself I would buy one of these old buses. I owned a bug back in the day, but would love to have one of these to knock around in.

@Izaya
Yes. A couple of classics in our stable to kick around in. Lol.
@Izaya @CinnamonGirlE My uncle had a C2. Awesome. However, being old? When I see cars that ride like buckboards going over for 100K at Barrett Jackson I kinda laugh.
@MidnightRider @Izaya
There is something to be said for the new things. I love old things, but comfort and reliability have to count.
@CinnamonGirlE @Izaya First iteration 5.0 Mustang, a rocket indeed. Hey how does it stop? Ford: Why do you want to stop? Go have fun!
@Izaya
Love the Sting Rays! Now you are talking.
@CinnamonGirlE @Izaya You can't leave us hanging what are they?
@MidnightRider @Izaya
For sure some muscle cars and sports cars. But this will have to be continued. Got to get up and out today. Hope you both have a good day. Talk later. ✌️
@CinnamonGirlE @Izaya I'm headed to the attic in minutes to work on the furnace
@Izaya @CinnamonGirlE When a battery the current size can power the car the conversions will be ubiquitous. However, I will still crave the sound of a flat 6, the companies using speakers to make engine noises? That's just stupid. Similarly, there is nothing like the sound of going full throttle on a boat with a 454 in it.
@MidnightRider @Izaya
I have never ridden in an EV. I do however have an electric golf cart. I infinitely prefer the gas powered. To me, it drives better, rides better. So although I know I need to look toward an EV or even a hybrid, not sure how I am going to like it.
@CinnamonGirlE @Izaya Well there you go, just fab the microbus body onto the golf cart, should be easy peasy lemon squeezy.
@Izaya @CinnamonGirlE I'm going to electrify a 73 Schwinn Speedster I own one of these days.
@Izaya @CinnamonGirlE @MidnightRider I consider keeping our family away from gas stations a *safety* measure.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN @Izaya @CinnamonGirlE Should have been there with me in the 70's asking people at the pumps to put their cigarettes out.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN @Izaya @CinnamonGirlE Hey Cinny. Check out my awesome dad, working on a straight six before he had his own shop.
@MidnightRider
So this would be where you learned your mechanical skills?
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN @Izaya
@Izaya @CinnamonGirlE @MidnightRider #PROTIP She will!
First start with the most recent car jacking or attempted robbery story...
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN @Izaya @CinnamonGirlE Oh dude I couldn't drive my car into the city, I'd have a gun in my face before I opened the gas flap.
@Izaya @MidnightRider
I am sure it where we need to be headed. I am just not there yet.
