No, this hobby is as expensive as you WANT it to be. I am writing a feature on a guy that has $16k into his '68 Camaro and it's pretty nice. He did this by hunting bargins, doing his own labor and horsetrading. Look at Alcino for another example as well as many others on this board.

My '68 is an expensive car, but I am not rich. I got it by "building up" over the course of many many years. My Fairlane looks pretty good and there's only $10,500 cash into it. So, to sum it up, to play in the big leagues you need big money, but to just play it's not expensive at all.
