I told this privately to Bill but I don't mind sharing a snipet. I know extremely wealthy men who collect cars. They do it out of love for the automobile, not to "invest". One has a 200 car collection of some of the rarest you can find. He even lends them out to Museums. Then there are the Auto Execs who know that the value of most cars is what a company sells them for off the lot. I went hunting with one very well known Exec. last fall. Big shot billionaire etc. We had a conversation that would bring tears to your eyes if you were actually Joe Blow looking to buy a new ride during the spring rush. Ok, nuff said there. Cars are cool but they're either just bling or basic transport. Only idiots buy new, no matter how much money you have, unless you REALLY like the Salesperson and want to toss them a cookie. Nobody in my family sells cars for a living and most of the Car Salespeople I've met are a-holes, so there ya go!
