Price point: just how difficult (or pricey) is the T206 Magie

I've owned one in the past and if I had it to do over again I'd shoot for the hot rod.

But would you call your Hot Rod the Magiemobile?

I had a 68 AMX as a kid, so fun. Had to sell it after I stole my dads corvette and blew the engine racing on the freeway one night. Come to think of it that was way more fun than a Magie, thanks for putting things in perspective.

I think when I hit 350 cards, I'll have to figure out what I want to do...lol...could I find a 79 AMC Spirit with a V8 engine?

I'd recommend the 401 Gremlin if you want to impress the ladies.

A friend in college would lend me his Pacer to drive since I didn't have a car. It was the Levi version. It had Levi seat coverings. So cool! And the floorboard was so rusted you could see the road passing underneath!

My first car was a 1971 Javelin SST 401 in High School (78). Got a ticket going over 100 and doing a 4 wheel lock skid through an intersection going to lunch during school. Tommy's was only 4 blocks away. Those cars are awesome and in your price range if you can find one. I graduated to a 77 Trans Am in 79.

I picked up a Resto Mod 76 Trans Am 6 speed 464/600HP in 2015. Best investment of my life and VROOOOM it around the neighborhood every week cranking Tom Petty. For 30 Minutes Feels like I'm back in High School. Though they can be a money pit at times, there is NOTHING like it. Just make sure you have the Gold AAA membership.

I say forget the 25K Sal Maglie bum and get yourself a Hot Rod. My biggest regret in life is that I only have a 2 car garage. Good Luck!
