Following the first gas crunch of 1973, V8-powered cars were sold here dirt cheap, and young kids ended up with a lot of them. I guess it was a good time for them to own their dream cars.

Or, you could acquire one "cleaner/n a cat's ass" like Jeff Bridges does in THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT for "three thousand and some change."
