My Harley was only $8600 and had only 18k miles on it and I get girls wanting to go for rides all the time.
I would rather buy a beat up 70 Dodge Charger with a straight body, rebuild the motor, paint the car and get some good wheels than buy a new Charger.
In a couple years, when things settle down, I'm going to get a project car and build something. I grew up building cars and I have all the tools!
I wouldn't buy a new Harley right now because of all the changes they just made, maybe in a couple years

Vendzilla and I finally agree with something. I guess it was bound to happen.
Anyone can buy a new car. Great, you walked into a dealership and got a loan. Maybe you even paid cash. All that tells us is that you have a job.
I am not a mechanic, and I struggle with basic things. I didn't do everything on my own; I had a local shop do a lot of the work. It was a two year project and still not done.
But now I am looking towards my next project. I wanted an older Firebird, but I keep going back to Mustangs - I wouldn't mind a convertable GT....
