This is exactly the the mindset that has driven the car hobby in the dirt.
Upside down investment wise.
If a person is building/restoring cars or anything else as an investment they aren't in it for enjoyment, satisfaction or fun.
Investment actions are business ....
Ask anyone who raced ANYTHING....Upside down investment wise...lol.
You are not Upside down on an investment doesn't matter till you sell it.
Keep a car 42 years and it becomes less important....
Ok....finished my drink 🍸 😋



If you keep it forever its never a realized loss, but your bank account may disagree. Your argument can be stretched to starting with nothing, then buying the whole car a piece at a time and assembling it. Now you have a rare car costing a million plus that you could have bought for $100k. Just don't sell it and you're ok. :-)
