That's a reasonable goal, but every year after you hit 50 is a slow decline. When you get in to your 60's, flipping upside down to stick your head under the dash or removing four tight spinners with a lead hammer starts to take its toll. If you can make the deal work, get the car sooner rather than later.

All of this is true.

Time does not treat us all equally.

In additon that's a lot of years of lost adventures
and memories. Some of which can not be acquired
any other way.

Very good points. The future is not guaranteed. Fortunately, I do have something in the garage to tide me over!

Uh-huh, but if you end up getting a small block you'll always wish you had an FE.

Yup. Buy once cry once.
