Hagerty Article - re Classic Vehicles

Fred,

Great article!

When I tell people about my GMC's I mention that it's one thing to own and drive a classic car but a owning and driving a classic
motorhome is another story.

If you own a classic car for the most part you take it out for a drive on a nice day for a cruise then drive it home; you don't get
in it and drive it a couple thousand miles on a tour.

If your classic car breaks down you call a wrecker and have it towed home where you can tinker with it to get it going again. With a
classic motorhome you have to fix it where it is or have it fixed ($$$).

Substitute GMC Motorhome for "classic car"?

I was fortunate to have put 80,000 miles on a 1968 Cadillac Deville convertible in a space of a little over 2 1/2 years around 2008-2010. The author was spot-on with his thoughts.

While I love my Magnum SRT8, I will always miss the Caddy. Every warm day that I left work with the the roof down, I felt like Andy Dufresne at the end of The Shawshank Redemption. It was pure escape. It was the first time since the late-night country drives of my teens was driving so exciting, and so free.

When the responsibilities of work and family again allow, I will surely be back in an old daily driver yet again.
