Poll - How far away from home do you drive your classic?
I never understood why so many guys are scared to drive their classic car. As long as you put it together right you are good to go. These cars used to drive all over when new and probably less maintained back in the day.
Back in the day they weren't 52 years old, lol. There are just so many pieces of mechanical parts to a car that could fail, considering their age. Bearings, wiring, cooling system, motor, trans, rear end...unless you have replaced all parts, something could fail on a trip. And then there you are, waiting for AAA to tow you to a near by hotel, and now your wondering how you get yourself and the car back home. Thankfully I make a good amount of money so it wouldn't be an issue, but not everyone is in the same boat.
So yea, that's why I can see why taking my new truck on a long journey and not even think about it, versus a long trip in an old car.
Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely taking trips in my 67 cuda this year but I do realize it can break down.
And that's why Alan's trip is awesome, and inspiring.
