I've worked on my own cars for decades, with lots of projects that require getting a vehicle off the ground. I've done countless oil changes, exhaust swaps, brake jobs, tire rotations, and even replaced a suspension components while my car was on jacks and jack stands.

The appeal of owning and driving a classic car is pretty hard to ignore. Who wouldn't want one of the best-looking muscle cars ever designed sitting in their driveway? And there are several decades of amazing automotive design that have come and gone, leaving iconic cars from a number of different eras. These automotive dreams aren't cheap, though. There are plenty of expensive muscle cars, and even more modern vehicles from the 1990s are starting to become prohibitively expensive.
