In addition to all the tangible, personal reasons for driving a vintage car,
how 'bout a slightly more philosophical reason that we all may or may not be
aware of?
Not only are 'death and taxes' the truly sure things, so is The Passage Of
Time.
While driving our ahem...experienced cars...we can feel that we're arresting
The Passage Of Time, (instead of It arresting us).
If we really like that feeling, we can even reverse it's passage through
restoration.
What else in our lives can we do that with? (without the need for Rogaine or
Viagra).

PLUS...IT'S FUN!!!

Top down, driving through a downhill right hand sweeper, foot to the floor,
arms full of opposite steering lock, drifting...the smell of autumn leaves,
the cool, dense air feeding the hungry engine, running like it has never run
before...gaining traction, ready for another gear..wait.. not yet... NOW!
