I agree with you, Tim. I’ve owned many cars over the years (like a lot of folks). Most of them have been “drivers”, but two of my purchases have been really special. In 1971 I bought my first high performance car, a custom ordered ‘71 Camaro SS 350. I fell in lust with that car and still have it after almost fifty years. After the first year it became my weekend fun car and I’m glad I was able to do that. I didn’t keep it low mileage (36,000) so that I could sell it and make a profit; it’s still my fun car, which I usually drive weekly. It even brings a smile to my face every time I look at it parked in my garage. After many years, I bought a new 2015 Porsche Cayman, my dream car. I don’t think I’ll ever sell that one either. It also gives my much joy, aka psychic rewards. Even though both cars are not daily drivers, they weren’t bought with the expectation of making a profit. The enjoyment I get from them is an ongoing, non-financial reward - worth every penny I’ve “invested” over the years. And if/when my son sells them after I’m gone (at a fair price), I hope the next owners enjoy them as much as I have.
