The whole purchasing of cars on speculation of making money is sucking the life out of what use to be a fun thing.  That thing is car ownership.  Cars are to be used and enjoyed not purchased and put away as a supposed money maker.   With only a handful of exceptions you are better investing in the market as a long term investment than in a car.
 

Purchading a car. Any car,  should be an investment in your happiness. Smiles per mile be it a track monster or a pre war brass car or anything in between.   The investment side of the car market has sucked the fun out of the car  enthusiast/hobbyist experience to the point where it may in fact be causing it harm.

In reply to dean1484 :

This months Hagerty magazine has a column about auction results. They found that for a Ferrari F40, you face about $80 in depreciation per mile driven. Im estimating the specific numbers here, but it was something like a 16,000 mile example sold for $1.4 million and a 6,000 mile example sold for $2.2 million. Now sure most people with a million dollar car aren't going to rack up the miles or worry too much about what it really costs to operate, but I gotta think that keeps a lot of folk from really enjoying their rare / collector car.
