Cost me $600 cash, and and about $1600/year for liability insurance.

Whoa, that is a lot of scratch for liability. I paid $1200 cash for my first car(1990 Chevy Corsica) and $500/year for liability.

I have had three vehicles which I remember fondly: a 68 Firebird 400 convertible, lucky I didn't kill myself, a 1977 Fiat x-19, tiny and broke down a lot, but girls loved it, good enough reason?, and 1989 I think Mazda pickup, just a happy time in my life and a simple, neat, suprisingly fun Pick up, a type that is just not made any more, import tarifs and changes in the market killed this kind of small truck.

Non existant from a dig and mine was bone stock. Around about 30 you could go wot and it would stick to the road and scream. It was definately a blast.

Thats what I always experienced, they could never keep from burning em up.

I had a 363hp SRT-4 that I sold because I couldn't get traction until 60-65 mph. It was a blast to drive on the highway/interstate, but around town and the track was just a smoke show no matter how I feathered the throttle. I thought with the bigger turbo I install would give me a little lag, I was wrong lol.

My hometown was about 50 miles from NYC, which added alot to the cost of insuring a new driver. At least thats what my parent's insurance agent told us 17 years ago.

I would love to have my old 1955 Chevy Bel Air coupe back. It was in extremely good condition except for developing a need for an engine overhaul (probably rings and seal job.) I liked the 55' better than the choice of most -- which was the 57' coupe. At the time I had no idea it would become a classic so I traded it in on my next car rather than fixing the engine and keeping it... Still miss that old car.

My wife liked to smoke them a little until I told her how much each tire costs!

She didn't drive it much after that.

It would easily be my 2008 Trailblazer SS! I just sold it this year to speed up getting my wife into school. It was BY FAR my favorite vehicle

I had a 1995 Volvo 855T that was alpine white with black leather and tinted windows. We had done a full 3" exhaust, Bilstein HDs & sport springs and a ECU reflash. There was something totally awesome about 300hp wagon making 17psi... really miss the sound of the inline 5 too.

    • Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
    • Oh yea, now I remember reading about you on TMZ!
    • Of course there's not a simple or knowable answer here. But the whole Caitlin Clark phenomenon is a nice example IMO. Suddenly there was wall to wall media coverage and national attention and... the women's tournament got similar ratings to the men's and much higher ratings than the men in the final four. With every indication that there will be some portion of the uptick that remains going forward. And there's the whole element that Sue Bird brought up. That basketball needed a pretty enough white superstar guard. One who looks like the "cute little white girls" that describes most of the soccer USWNT that's been able to achieve much higher popularity than any version of women's basketball, which is dominated by black players and none of any race who could be described as little... I do think women's sports are in a good place to start taking off more though. It's really only in the coming 5-10 years that the majority of girls will start to come of age with post Title IX grandmothers (as in their grandmothers were allowed to be serious athletes). I don't follow men's or women's basketball much, but in golf for sure the women's tour has gotten much deeper over the past 20 years and only looks to keep going in that direction. I've heard the same about women's basketball. And the patriarchal attitudes that socialized girls out of sports and everyone out of women's sports fandom aren't gone but have def diminished.
