I personally like the mustangs just as well.

Nothing wrong with owning a car made out of steel.

I would like to look for another Olds 442. I had a new one when we got married 34 years ago and my wife liked it, she does not care much for the vette. Only problem is that I've spent so much money on the vette, there are lots of new parts that I don't think I will get my money back on anymore. I need something new to get excited about.

Good choice. The Olds 442 was arguably the best all round musclecar produced. It had comfort, options and could still fry the tires with the air on. Oldsmoble was the engineering division for GM. Many features on cars today debuted on Oldsmobiles. They will be missed.
