What ever happened to the cheap speed NEW cars like they had back in the old days? Easy and fun to work on? Cheap (probably these days under 20k...

 

they went in the early 70s bro..i know it suck i hate it

 

Emissions, insurance regulations, and FWD.

 

Well, there's this thing called inflation. The cars back in the day that were fast and under 20k are about 35k now. Look at a early 70's late 60's Camaro SS vs. a 2002 Camaro SS's price. Inflation is a bitch.

 

inflation would affect every vehicle..

I think it is the fact there is much more stuff going on in the cars.. It sucks..

 

And It has. Try getting a brand new cadillac for $5,000.


This thread is retarded. Might as well ask why you can no longer purchase a gallon of milk and a loaf of bread for 0.35.


The term for this is Money Illusion.

 

remember when 5 cent gum was really 5 cents..damn the man!

 

I can't tell you how funny it is that you said this. Billy was just here, I read the same comment you quoted and we both looked at each other and said, "It has, new Cadillacs used to be $5000"
