Hmm - was thinking about my Olds 

1965 Cutlass Supreme Convertible - with 442 Options (White on White  / Antique Red Interior) 400 cu in 345 HP, 4 speed close ratio, 3:55 Posi rear . 
 86,000 miles  - 2 sets of brakes front and rear, rear brake cylinders , 1 water pump , 1 rear axle, replace starter bushings , 1 paint job , 1 top and plastic rear window
 Bought in new for $3,245  - guy game me a $13,000 cashiers check to hold if i decided to sell it to him - gave him his check back a week later . 
Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel.
