cars back than were build pretty good, I mean super-easy to fix what it is now, i never owned chevette in the past - right now we have cars with so much wiring and computers, I was thinking to buy like 1993 - Mustang GT and supercharge it....
depends, newer models: Are porsches, and audis and bmws- I was into german cars since i was 17+/-
as far muscle cars, I say Challenger or Camaro SS, 1969
I dont remember, few years back I used to be really into road racing/track. after i changed the car, no reason for me to be interested and pretty much put more money into the cars: now days what i do, i just change suspension / wheels / and add exhaust , tune, and minor modifications, nothing crazy... no time
we have flying cars allready - not sure why people still say, or asking when, they';r every expensive atm, and yet, concepts - I believe you can even buy one now, for 1M US dollars
there are few pads, track pads, regular pads, also remember to resurface your rotors - depends on the model of a Porsche, if they're drilled and cut, you basically have to buy new ones, cant just slap pads on and be fine, because pads wont last long do to, bad surface on the old ones.
I dont trust any ramps at all, it is risky and the car can slide, remember safety is number one ! - just find a friend who can borrow you the lift to fix minor things .
every car has some weak points - its a matter of time - could be also do to not changing the oil frequently or short trips, it can build a sluge inside oil pan
