But then again... One is designed to take You from A to B (place, not notes). The other is providing You with the means to contribute to an ART form.

So, who wants to borrow my time machine?

what did the vette sell for in 67?

I just used an inflation calculator and a $5000 car from 67 would be equal to $32000 now.

and you can pick up decent condition late model vettes for under $10,000 now. Not far from the price of one of those fancy schmancy euphs....

Not just American. I bought this 2 year old Alpine in 1969 for $1100. Sold it to a friend in 1972 for $600. It is conservatively worth $40,000 today.
