Priced out of the market

one part of the problem is that nobody wants to drive beaters anymore.
I love beaters.... Just can't afford one... I have less $$$$ in my done cars than people thing their beaters are worth....

Back in the 80's my Red Challenger vert was my daily driver, grocery stores, hardware stores, titty bars... Drove it every where... Then I screwed up & painted it... Not comfortable parking it anywhere...
