That is a rationale that I hear a lot when strolling around the weekend car shows in Southern California at some park with all the shine and Do Not Touch signs on the windshields. See all the "trailer queens" with their trailers parked around the corner or actually drove to the park from 25 miles away.
Id like you to know that my Packard is not a trailer queen. In the last 3 years I have put over 15K miles on it. I don't drive to a job every day so these miles were mostly from road trips. I drive it most every day. This is the car I prefer out of the 4 cars I have. I drive it to car shows and on long extended trips. I have driven it over the mountains numerous times to Reno from the bay area in the summer. This is the car I bring my groceries home in.
Not everyone belives that these cars need redesigning and upgrading to have what
you refer to as a
"reliable car" They were reliable when they were new and are reliable now with proper service and repair. Just because something breaks or doesn't work like it did when it was new doesn't warrant recreation or transformation into something it never was.
Simply fix it. The car will be grateful.
