But a lot of people who make $250K and a desire for toys set their sights a bit higher than a Firebird, restored or not, when buying classic cars.
This is totally correct and the exact reason that 'Trickle Down Economics' doesn't work. If you want your 1st gen Firebird value to go up you shouldn't vote for 'Trickle Down Economics' again. The only thing that trickle down works on is what goes down your plumbing...
