I've been driving a 1969 Corvette since I was in in High School (let's say since 1980...), if I totaled the actual cost of ownership I would probably keel over on the spot.

If you've been daily driving it for 38 years, I'd like to see all your numbers too, including the total miles driven. Especially the hours you've spent working on it yourself.

I haven’t daily driven the car in a long time, the odo didn’t work for about 20 years when it was driven most. The car shows 390,000 miles + the miles from the missing two decades. I used to work on it myself, lots of hours back then but I don’t have the DIY time anymore. Kids and a wife get all of my spare time now.

4 transmissions, 5 motors... The math is ugly! LOL
