[The Fixer]

Well, read the whole ad, don't just look at the pics. That car was built in the '80s, and shown in the early '90s, when monochromatic paint schemes and gold/chrome were all the rage. Nobody gave a damn about turning a corner or stopping though; notice the stock brakes on that thing, and stock chromed front control arms.

Times have changed, and now we like the down-played look of appearing stock, with some mild accents and great acceleration/braking. Who knows where automotive tastes will be 10 years from now? It'll be interesting to watch the evolution of our hobby.

For me personally, I'd never invest that much money into anything except a house. I'm very happy being able to hop in the car whenever I want and beat the crap out of it. If my car was worth that much $$, it'd be in the same place that guy has it; a huge garage with nothing else around it, and it would never be on the road. Such a waste of a good car.
