[DML] Re: Deans List 2005

["therealdmcvegas" <dmcvegas@xxxxxxx>]

Well DUH! Dean! A car's value depends upon rarety. How many of these 
Ferraris & Hemi 'Cuda Convertibles were manufactured, versus how many 
DeLoreans were built? Last time I checked, it was like 10 of 
these 'Cudas, versus almost 10,000 DeLoreans.

Besides, I'm happy to know that my car will never be worth $100K. 
That means that it'll remain affordable for the next generation to 
take charge and drive.

Kinda makes me wonder. Is Dean, and other people who attend these 
auctions into the car hobby because they dig on vehicles and enjoy 
them? Or is it all about the almighty dollar? Investing in cars is 
one of the stupidest things you can do with your money. Spending cash 
on a car, is really investing in yourself, to get a return on 
happiness from your work/passion.
