Re: Why would you waste your money on that Model A
1929, the more thought I give this the more I believe this person is not really a good friend because he is trying to push your buttons by making a comment that he knows will evoke negative feelings just to see your reaction. Avoid this jerk. I've known people myself who believe that driving expensive automobiles is a way of showing off their affluence, but nobody really cares about those expensive automobiles because they are a dime a dozen and just about anybody can buy or lease one.

Re: Why would you waste your money on that Model A
It just makes good sense to drive vehicles that are appreciating in value then to lose money on them.

Re: Why would you waste your money on that Model A
What a waste of bandwidth to discuss somebody’s choice of transportation that doesn’t have anything to do with this forum.

Re: Why would you waste your money on that Model A
Next time he asks that question, take him for a ride. That should help him answer his own question. I know when I ask myself the same question, a ride around the block usually reminds me of why I keep ‘wasting’ money on it.

Re: Why would you waste your money on that Model A
Ask him what hobby he has? You will probably have plenty of targets to take shots at the next time he complains about your hobby.

Re: Why would you waste your money on that Model A
Those vehicles that are mentioned are great. Great if you enjoy complex design and engineering. Great if you enjoy chasing all around the world for spare parts.

Re: Why would you waste your money on that Model A
In addition to 3 Model A's I have a 1950 FX Holden, a G.M. product. It has just turned over 24K miles. In great condition. It is popular because it is a locally designed car and the brand has only recently gone out of production.
When I view this car next to my Model A's it really has no class. Sorry FX fans. I do have difficulty warming to it. The attached photo is from the internet and is exactly like mine even the colour.

No, you should move. Move to a neighbourhood with some class.

I'm not into golf myself, but I have a number of friends that are. And they sit around and argue to the point of fighting about their scores, and who is lying and such. Calling each other names.

Just tell your neighbor he needs to sell his cars and buy a real car, a Studebaker.

Man that was a sharp car. The kind that keeps puling you back for another look. One guy had a restored 1931 Model A Cabriolet that was real sharp another had a '39 Ford Coupe all restored to original not rodded. Another guy had a show condition 1967 Plymouth GTX. All the folks there were A-No. 1 friendly as could be. Really enjoyed seeing the cars. |

Sadly, Free speech is Free and does not always make sense to the person doing the listening! And I am with You! I doubt anything this guy owns will survive 88 years! And it does not sound like he cares!

Re: Why would you waste your money on that Model A
Curious, how does "Why would you waste your money on a model A" differ from this statement "Yet another innocent '28-29 roadster turned into someone's idea of a 1930-31 Deluxe Roadster, with the regrettable addition of virtually every chrome goodie possible slapped on it. If someone wants a '30-31 Deluxe Roadster, then for Heaven's sake BUY a '30-31 Deluxe Roadster instead of trying to turn a pumpkin into a prince's carriage for Cinderella. '28-29 roadsters left in their natural state have their own charm for us guys who also appreciate the more antiquated look of the '28-29 Model A's. No matter how many chrome trinkets or whitewall tires are thrown on a '28-29 roadster, it will NEVER approach a '30-31 Deluxe Roadster in appearance. "? Are they not both people criticizing someone else for their car choices because they don't meet THEIR standards?.
