I've got a '79 Chevy factory Camper Special 3/4 T... I wouldn't quite call it Cherry, but it's in very nice shape. 26 years old, and I am the second owner! Retired guy at the Coast bought it new and only drove it in summer, to haul his Camper around. After a few years of working (after I got it) I retired, too - so, same thing.
Had the motor done 6 or 7 years ago; special cam, H/D timing chain, H/D oil pump*, big exhaust, a few other things.
My wife got a new Olds Alero in 2002. 2-Dr, with everything but leather - V-6, 4 wheel discs w/ABS, sport suspension, power everything, 180 watt 8 speaker CD, sun-roof, even a thingy that adjusts the stereo volume up and down, according to your speed (to compensate for raod noise,etc.)
I'm pretty sure there's a button somewhere that will scratch your privates for you, but I haven't found it yet. :wink:
Needless to say, she likes it - a lot.
*It's funny, as soon as I touch the accelerator off idle, the oil pressure gauge is PEGGED! LOL!
