Buy an old lawn tractor and put big Ag tires on it. Goes great through woods and creeks, cheaper than 4-wheelers. Vintage Wheel Horse and Jacobsen have the best transmissions.

Quoted from albummydavis:

Also dramatically changed my collecting habit after I got sick. Kind of forced me to realize that I’m just renting the stuff and that some dealer would just pick my bones. I kind of regretted the 100s of days, perhaps even multiple years, of life spent at cons, antique malls, flea markets, etc. never mind eBay. I’ve found a happy medium since then.

You're not kidding. I once had 13 vintage outboard gas cans, at least 16 guitars, big box of foreign and Civil War bills, a dozen or so tube amps, tube radios, a hundred cast iron pieces, not to mention so much antique furniture my house and barns were full.
Been selling hard and knocked it down a little but more pops up from unlikely places.

Quoted from shavenyak:

This is what I came to say. People buying 1K cars, loading it with $10K worth of wheels, bling, and stereo, and still having a POS car that's now worth even less. The worst is when they take a decent car and stick those butt ugly as hell aftermarket spoilers on them.

Yeah. 20's, no. 16 inch wheel and big tires, thats the way.
