age group: 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, etc.
how long have you had the car?
is it a daily driver, casual driver, track, etc.
how much money have you spent in restorations, upgrades?
what other kinds of car do you have?
if others would like to chime in, that would be great.
My answers:
1. 40-49
2. 1 month
3. toy car / weekend
4. < $1k
5. 02 BMW 530i, 95 Chevy astro

1. 20-29
2. About 6 months
3. You mean when its not broken/in the shop? i drive it as much as I can, but because it spends so much time in the shop, its more of a weekend car. Hopefully within the next few weeks, the last major round of repairs will be done....
4. oh jeez...let's see....it'll be about 8k after the bodywork and last couple repairs are done. After that, the only other forseeable work is replacing the front seats, clutch, and probably some suspension bearings (might as well if I have to drop the suspension to do the clutch)....the plan is that after all this is done, the car will be pretty damn reliable because I'll have replaced EVERY problem part on the damn thing (i've already done timing belt, seals, rollers, power steering hoses, odometer, exhaust, brakes, and hood latch, among others...)
5. 02 Audi A4
