john/z28jd I used to love old cars and i bought a 68 camaro about 12 years ago that needed some body work.I later bought a 66 nova,then traded that for a 69 chevelle(i also had a 87 monte carlo ss and 86 firebird at the time i took turns driving daily),then traded that for a 69z28,then traded that for a 69 camaro yenko replica,then traded the replica back for my 69z28 when i noticed it for sale in town about 2 years after the first trade. One day when i had something go wrong that was cheap but annoying i realized that cards cost nothing once you have them and cars cost alot,especially the more you use them and i decided to sell the 69z28 and buy cards. I still have the 68 camaro and it still needs body work but besides attending about 5-6 shows a year i dont do much with the cars anymore.
I never stopped collecting cards the whole time even when i had very little to put towards them because of the cars,but i still look back and wonder how one day i just woke up and said im done with the old cars.Ive never regretted selling my z28,or trading any of the others,and i have no urge to buy another or fix my 68.
