For free racing games, try:
Real Racing 3 It's not a sim, but it's not entirely arcadey. It's pretty good. 
Racing Rivals, solid drag racing game, good tuning, lots of players, fair amount of cars, pretty gimmicky though IMO
Asphalt 8: Airborne. Pretty cool arcade game, Lots of jumps, crashing, and drifting. 

 

Yeah it's not that hard. I really only do it when I go out for sushi or fried tofu. 

I talk to my car and my bike, usually when I'm racing or when SHTF.  More often than not I just talk to myself

NES games, my brother found a one of those big pokeballs with a Golden Togepi card and bought it for like $5 with the box. That was a good find.

Maybe you wouldn't daily drive an old car, but I have and would do it again. I had all the modern tech I needed in my '74 Gladiator (power steering, power disc brakes, A/C), these things were offered as far back as '63 on the Gladiators, these aren't "modern" things that came out in the past 20 years. They even came with front independent suspension back in '63, it wasn't very popular though and was done away with only a few years later. All the other features of modern vehicles, I was honestly happy to be without. The less electronics to break, the better IMO.

 

More importantly though is that you seem to be missing the point of owning an older car. All those toys you listed are nice in their own right (I'm more inclined to buy a V6 Camaro/Mustang/etc because of fuel mileage, they have plenty of power, and you'll never legally use the V8s power unless you are into track racing), but they lack the allure of some old school muscle. The main draw to old cars though isn't the power, it's the character, which very much is something newer cars lack. Sure, there are some exceptions like the Camaro or RX-8 that stand out in stylings, but even then you've got glaring flaws like hard to see out of, lack of power, built out of horrible materials, or unreliable components to name a few things.

 

Cost is another big factor in owning those toys you listed, not just up front, but down the road as well. Even just a light bulb is expensive on those BMWs (I owned a '96 M3, I should know), and chances are any work needs to be done at a shop. Older vehicles are great for those of us willing to get our hands dirty and really learn our vehicles.

 

You named off a bunch of straight up toys in the car world, how about some examples of good styling and allure in other areas? A lot of people are drawn to the Bel Airs, Eldorados, Furys, CJ-7s, FJ40s, etc. and I can guarantee it's not because of the power.

I never said I didn't like old cars or that I didn't want to work on an old car, but you bring up a lot of good points. I did bring up sports cars primarily, but I stand by my opinion that's it's easier to DD a modern car over a classic. 

Any old car is cool to me. Cars made today suck.

Subaru Forest XT (lol transmission, lol turbo, lol head gaskets)

Subaru Impreza (All models, Base, WRX, and WRX-STi)

There's a lot more, and I know not all of them are particularly affordable, but trust me, a classic muscle car is a good weekend car, but you wouldn't want to daily one. The lack of modern technology (Power steering, power brakes, etc) can be tiring. And they're just too valuable to lose if you wreck one, in most cases

I've always wanted to build a 197-ish Camaro into a track weapon 

Kind of like this

For a powerplant it would need an LS1 from a modern Corvette, built with aftermarket stage 2 Comp-cams, K&N intake, Magnaflow exhaust, MSD Ignition, BIgger fuel injectors and a Magnusson supercharer 

Chassis upgrades would include (But are not limited to): Wider tires and wheels, Eibach full suspension system, chassis reinforcement bars, a roll cage, Stiff anti-roll bars, and Brembo brakes

Other upgrades would be Sparco seats and harnesses, Sparco steering wheel, a fire suppressant system (In case of emergency), carbon fiber body panels painted to match the color of the car, which will probably be black, dark grey, silver, or burnt orange, I'm undecided.

Yesterday I was out on my dirt bike on an enduro single track (Tight woods trail, barely enough room between the trees for one bike) and I hit a jump, miscalculated my take off, landed of the trail about 6 inches away from a tree, I flicked my bars to the left to try and dodge it, but my right handguard smacked into it, rocking the bars all the way to the right, and picking up the back end, throwing me over the bars, I landed on my feet but couldn't stay upright. I slammed onto my hands and knees, and then my face. 
My left knee (My bad knee) is swollen quite badly, but right knee is just bruised. My hands and forearms are scraped up, but fine. I'm unable to walk without a limp, but my bike is fine. 

A local department store had a raffle for an arcade basketball hoop that I won about 5 years ago.

Need for Speed World has "Guess that car" events, where you guess what car is pictured in a distorted image and if you guess correctly you're entered to win the car in the game. (I won a Ford Mustang Boss 302 and a Lancia Delta HF Intergrale)

Last year (2nd year High school) it was a 3.9, but the first two quarters of this year it went down to a 3.7, third quarter it was a 3.5. As bad as it sounds, I guess I stopped caring.

I drive a 2003 Jeep Liberty Limited with about 80xxx miles. I want to get rid of it and get some sort of quick car. I just don't like Jeeps. 

Driving home from school I hit a set of railroad tracks at about 50 MPH and jumped my Jeep through the air.

My first 20 foot gap jump on a motocross track.

Drag Racing my Jeep against some 4 cylinder cars and winning. 

 

Jeez I could fill up a book of stuff like this

>Jumping my dirt bike over a 20 foot gap for the first few times
>100MPH in a Jeep 
>150MPH in a tuned up Mini Cooper
>Trying to stunt jump an 800 pound utility four-wheeler. I ended up getting tossed up about 10 feet into the air and dragged along the ground for about 15 feet
>Riding my motorcycle and an oncoming car crossed lanes to go into a collision course with me (They were texting and driving, luckily they looked up and swerved) 
 

Because Wal-mart wants to eliminate anything that they see as competition. 

When there's competition the consumer has a choice to shop from store x or store y. If store Y has better service than store X, than people won't go to Store X to shop. If people aren't going to store X because Store Y is providing a better service, Store X must strive to be better than Store Y so people will shop with them. 

When there is no competition (Wal-mart's idea of paradise), a company can pretty much do what they want because the consumer has no other choice of a place to shop.

I own used to own this 1997 Polaris Scrambler 500 (Sold it today, miss it so much. It was a good machine) 

Now I've got a 2004 Honda CRF250X dirt bike. I'm the founder of the Northeast Pennsylvania Goon Platoon stunt/race team.

I like Maple Syrup on Corn dogs, that's about it

When I was 4, I had to get 5 stitches right between my nostrils because I ripped that bit of skin between them.
