OK, you are asking for opinions so I'll oblige. You CLEARLY DO NOT get the safety if think that it is any way safe to drive over 100 MPH on the streets. If you did you wouldn't suggest in any way...

From experience - bought a '66 convertible that was exactly like my first car - the nostalgia anticipation was WAY better than the actual participation. When I was 21 the car drove like a dream, 30...

Even if the car just had a brand new engine installed the rest of the car still has 130,000 miles on it. There will be a lot of creaks, groans, wear, and slop in the steering and suspension. Drive...

Like casinos, insurance companies pay a lot of money for predictive analytics. They are in business to make money, from your money. That said, if it was that simple no one would ever go to a casino...

Try Ebay. I got a complete new kit, front/rear/bushings/brackets/endlinks, for only $185 about a month ago. Granted this was a rare find but used ones are also there and it isn't a high-wear part. ...

I actually wished I hadn't had it on my Z06. It looked cool but I thought it really cut down (the already limited) visibility. Like others said, it's your car, if others judge it's their problem...
