Can you imagine making payments on a car like this that had
a very short life & no insurance? You'd have years to think
about that last ride and cry every time you write the next check

Kind've a similar situation, I've always wanted a '66/L72 or '65/L78 'Vette...the reason I don't have one is I'm still paying my ex-wife's debts?!.
True story, but no tears when writing the cheques...or thoughts of the last ride either!.

speaking of rolling cars. in Darrell Waltrip's book he talks about rolling a 69 396/375 Chevelle while trying to outrun the cops.

Pretty sure that he tells the story how he and his Chevelle ended up in his wife's front yard. The car was a demo car from the dealership where he worked.
