> [@tony31](#): > > That’s the trouble with vinyl roofs, sun and water damage. You notice they don’t make them anymore. Well, you can’t get them from the vehicle manufacturer, but some people with… questionable… taste add them to their new cars. Don’t you just love the look of a four-door sedan–with pillars–that has a fake convertible roof, complete with a sunroof? Car salesmen refer to these aftermarket abominations as “pimp roofs”. 🤣 ---

Some people will tell you it is old and you need to get something newer thats more reliable but any car new or old can be reliable if you make it i daily drive a 1967 chevy impala and i built it to be new i put new tubular control arms new everything in the front suspension to correct the geometry of the 1967 technology i built a 327 and dropped it in brand new and put a new transmission in it with overdrive put disc brakes on and rebuilt the rear to handle the power and it will out run any rubberband timeing belt foriegn car on the street and outlive them also so if anybody tells you old cars are unreliable dont listen to them you just have to make it new again because at one point old cars were built to be driven daily! ---

I like your thinking, I’m the same way. I’d rather drive something I can repair. ---
