Yeah I guess I see your point. I'm just looking at it from the "a 25 year old car is a classic and should be cared for" perspective.

I just purchased an 87 TD for cheap because this guy's wife drove it while it was overheating and basically ruined the car. It's a shame for that guy because he could have sold the car for a lot more money if it wasn't ruined, it's also a shame that such a rare car could be taken off the road and nearly end up in the junkyard because of stupid behavior.
