A Man And His Car
By David Atkin
A man and his car, a man forms a special bond with his car, he learns to feel everything that the car is doing, he knows if a tire is low just by the feeling the car gives him, he feels the power of the as he shifts through the his car becomes a part of him, and extension of his body and a creative out, he loves to put time it to his car and make it look and run better.
He likes to make it go faster, he love how it makes him feel to drive it, a man will always enjoy bragging about his car and showing it off, he gets excited when events come to town where he and his car can join in, especially if it means that he could win a trophy, plaque or some other prize to show his car off.
Men are car crazy, and if you're not one of us then you'll never understand why we are that way, just roll with the punches and learn to love the car as much as the man does, cars give us men an outlet for our creative endeavors, and a way to enjoy being creative, a man can invite all his buddies over for the week end to help work on his car, and since their men they will be glad to help work on the car, all they need a some cold beer and pizza and their off and running.
A guy loves everything about his car, and it doesn't matter if the car is done yet, he will drive it half way done and be proud to do so, he was impressed when he bought the car, and he will still be impressed with it years from now, a man does not get sick of his car, he will spend his entire life trying to make it exactly what he wants, rather that happens to a custom car, or a factory prefect his car will be what he wants.
He doesn't care, nor will he listen to any suggestion that would take him away from his car for any length of time, he doesn't want to sell it to buy a newer car, a man loves his car to the very end, and though you might try, you will never change that, if the car bug gets in to a man's blood, he will never get rid of it, it doesn't matter how hard he tries, I know because I tried to shake it myself, and I know how hard it can be.
I went to computer school, because I thought I was going to be getting out of the and getting in to a business that made more money, boy was I wrong, I make a lot more doing what I know, and have fun doing it, I was bitten by the bug at age 12, and have never gone back yet, though I have tried to no avail.
I still get all giddy just like a school girl every time a see a cool car, a car that I know a man has put a lot of time in, a car that is now a part of that man, a car that gives him freedom, his car will never scream at him, and it will always do what he likes, a man's car will never let him down in any way.
Form the out side looking in, you might think that the man has gone insane, but this is just a good sign that you have no idea what he likes, nor do you care, if you don't understand, please have him help you learn, and maybe you can be a part of this very select number of people who go nuts at the sight of a pretty car.
The only way that you could ever understand this, is to be a part of it, and once your in, you can never get out, so get ready to take it on.

I have found a few places on the web to help you sell your car, or to buy one of course, but for now I will keep harping on the fact that you should not just let your old classic car rot away. What are the reasons for that, you might ask.
3 Reasons For Restoring Your Old Classic Auto
1. The first reason is should be pretty obvious; These models are not built anymore. They are also hard to find in decent shape. People will always looking for the classic American cars and as long as they are still around, people from all over the world will be looking for them.
2. The second reason is this, if these cars just disappear, we lose out on all the class and style that they have to give us, every one of the old cars has its own look and feel, as well as it's own style, unlike the new cars, that all just seem to look alike.
3. Here's the third reason; Let's say we wake up one day, and all the classic cars are just gone, like the dinosaurs that once roamed the earth, what if we wake up and all the cars just look the same, what a boring life that would be, every one looks like the imports do. All I can say is yuk, don't ever let it happen. If you have a classic vehicle and do not have an idea of restoring it or if you cannot afford to restore it then better sell it to anyone who is interested in your car. This would help to have it around somewhere in the world. You should avoid though, to look at it as your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I think it would be wiser to think about what you have and the condition that it is in, and do your selling effort accordingly. Keep in mind that most classic car buyers aren't idiots, and you can't slip one by them.
If you plan to sell your classic vehicle you can do a simple research on it before you announce it for sale. Honesty is the best; don't rip off somebody for just wanting your old classic car. If you sell them what they want and nothing else you have done what you can do, unless you want to restore it yourself. There are many quality sites on the web that help you to sell your classic car. Just do a simple search on your favorite search engine, and you will get the information you need and a little bit more.
