New owner in NC

Post by Traffikus »

Hi everyone. I just picked up a 65 Caliente sedan and am probably going to be coming back here begging for guidance a couple times. I traded my motorcycle for this because I figured my motorcycle was a bit too dangerous to ride until I have life insurance set up... so I traded it for a car with no airbags or seat belts. But at least it looks just as cool as the bike did.

Welcome aboard. Can't argue with anything you said... except for the cool thing... cause driving the Comet, I bet you look even cooler :D

Post some photos of your car so we can all help make the final decision.

Here's how to post photos, if you haven't found it already.

I reckon that if you ride motorcycles ....you wouldn't care about owning a car without airbags and seat belts... like for like. :)

It was kind of funny when the previous owner started explaining the choke. "Nope, I got this."
