Chris,
First, the word 'Boston' can be confusing. If you mean to actually 'live' in Boston, you can never afford parking or space for these cars. They will likely pass inspection as the grandfather date is around 1982(if I remember correctly)
If you plan to live 45 minutes or so outside of Boston, you could afford a big garage and could keep both.
However, it has appeared to me that most people keep to themselves in a strong way. No one has ever commented to me that they think old volvos are cool when I drive my 71 142E. I just want to let you know that if you think you will show up in this area and find tons of brickboard buddies, think again because you will not.
Nobody drives old cars to work, nobody I see anyway. Not with compared to other places I have lived.
All people I know claim that they do not have time to work on them and simply want to use them until the rust and then trade them off-hoping some poor bastard in Florida buys it off the rail car without doing a rust inspection.
Secondly,
While L.A. is certainly not paradise to me, I will again point that people in this area stick to their own agenda. I have been here for over 2 years and work in an office full of hundreds of cubicles. There is one guy who is 8 cubicles down from me and he has passed me in the hallway hundreds of times and never nodded, said HI, or in any form acknoledged my existence whatsoever.
In short, compared to the rest of the US, people are rude here. I hope I have not offended any New England folks, but....then again... after some time here, the attitude wears off.
Who cares if your feelings are hurt.
Stay out of here, Chris.
Jeremy
