The word "value" keeps coming up. To me, the value is in enjoying the car, whether it is a racer, daily driver, project or a trailer queen. Your enjoyment of your car is where the true value is.
If I looked at one of my cars & just saw $$$$ signs, I would be looking for a new hobby.
You must be a very rich man See for me it's different...I have a wife and kids, mortgage, etc...So it's very hard for me to justify spending lots of money on a toy to 'enjoy" without knowing I got something (an assest) that is worth the money I spent.
It would be great to always be able to invest $100K in a car that worth $50K for the "enjoyment of the car" but I just can't make fianancial sense of that....niether could my wife.
