How to live to old age in the Mopar hobby

Back some years ago, I sorta retired semi retired I guess they call it. I always had plenty of Mopars around, some restored rare cars, some just plain Jane drivers and some in between. I took a job in the city some 60 miles one way and was driving a beak nose Dart Sport as I recall kept getting questions from the guys there why I drive that old car and especially such a distance.
So I tell them. I enjoy driving the car. Yes it has NO AC, but were are working out in the heat all day, and driving home with windows down feels good to me!
Then I mention the job pays pretty little and why would I want to drive and wear out a modern car that will then be worth nothing! I an drive my old Dart and long as it runs good and still looks good, it will always be worth what I have invested in it. If it breaks I can fix it. It is a classic, not a rare or high $ classic but a classic and not a modern chit box.
