Cars are traditionally a terrible $$$ investment. Use the car the way it was meant to be used and enjoy the total experience. That's the real payback!

I agree completely.There are way too many of them being produced to have the car appreciate in value.The only hope is that it won't depreciate too rapidly.I used to own a Bricklin.Only about 1800 cars made in total.My car was 700 something.Only about 60 of them made with 4-speed.Sold it 10 years after I bought it.Bought for $7000.Sold for $6000 but it was falling apart due to poor design and assembly.Now I can buy a completely restored one for around $20,000 today.That's almost 30 years later.Absolutely no appreciation due to very limited interest in the car.Probably because it was never an outstanding performer.The moral of the story is own it and drive it to enjoy it.

Hard to imagine a worse investment other than my 401k at this point. Don't forget even a high exec's 92 RT (serial #8, I believe) only went for high $50s a couple of yrs back at Barrett-Jackson. If my recent 95 trade is any indication, don't spend your investment money before you sell.
