6 pros and cons of vintage car ownership

“In many ways, it’s a lot easier or at least more natural to own a classic if you can rebuild it yourself. It gets expensive and frustrating when you have to rely upon someone else to fix that old machine in your garage. And driving a car that you have restored has to be one of the most satisfying things that I can think of. It takes a lot of skill, discipline and determination to tear apart a car and get it back together again. Restoration of old cars gives us all a little more self reliance in a complicated world. For me, the Pros far exceed the Cons. Thanks for your article, Kyle!”
