LOL Donny! Yea, that's what I say... Like I will EVER see the 25K it will take to finish the van... I have about 22 into it right now with paint and interior to do yet... Even with all of the work I have put into it it is still a lot of money to piss away on a project I will never get back... Oh well, it's what I does...

With the way the economy has been.... I like my odds spending money on the car then stuffing it in the 401k. (maybe I need a better financial advisor)

I chalk it up to enjoying a hobby. I have many friends that spend $60/week on golf and have nothing to show for it at the end of the day. Atleast we can recoup a portion of our investment if we sell our cars.

i spend almost $60 a week bowling. i also consider that to be part of the "sanity" investment portfolio... sometimes, there is nothing more gratifying that watching 10 pins just get absolutely annihilated with the perfect pocket shot..

I have found that no matter what, I'm going to spend/blow a sum of money on something so it's just a matter of where. I don't do drugs, drink much at all. I have In the past raced quarter mile = goodly amounts of cash , speed boat = a boat load of cash (pun intended), snowmobiles = lots of cash,etc. etc.etc

No matter what, I budget for life, retirement, entertainment so I will spend my discretionary income on something and currently it just happens to be my Camaro. I've paid my dues and I'm finally at a point where I get to enjoy some of those labours in life. Most people will pick their poison and mine currently just happens to be a '67 Camaro SS.

"Spent most of my money on fast cars, booze, and wild women. The rest I just wasted"

Don't know where I saw it, but I like it.

[AutoX_a_Truck?]

For a short period of time (when my truck was even more spartan than it is now) I technically profited from "investing" in my truck due to scrapping or selling all of the extras and winning a few autox prize packages

You can make money from cars if you do it right and know what you are buying.

Yes you do. Most are run to make the company money. Diversification is the key. Have you gone over what you are invested in? You can move stuff around when the market fluctuates.

i always believed that an investment is something that will, it can take some time, generate money. that almost never happening with putting years of work and money in cars, i have to agree with novaderrik

Hey bud. Been busy with family. I need to get going on my car again. After the Starlite car was stolen and Frank @ Prodigy ripping me off i’ve been a little jaded about the whole deal. I’m thinking about buying a 69 Camaro to make a daily driver. Either way I need to get involved again. Jack & I had a lot of fun with you guys. How have you been?

[rfalker1]

Yea... Its an investment... in making your garage a little bit happier!!! But atleast you know you can get something back for it, while enjoying it at the same time

[LeighP]

I recently added up the receipts on my 71 Firebird project. After which, I went over and smacked my head against the wall till it felt good.
I'm never going to tell anyone what I've spent (invested) in my car....... lol.

Sometimes it's a way of spending money on something trivial without sounding stupid.

I'm going to "invest" in a bottle of Johnnie Black. Short term gains look promising but the futures look bleak.

Your sister in law is most certainly a "Sophisticated Investor"!!!!

[Enzo Damico]

Oh she is! Cute pup though.

[rustomatic]

I waste money on my car, since what "investment" appears as is nice paint, flawless bodywork, and pedigree. I invest in good beer and cheap whiskey.
