Invest your money, drive your cars! Invested properly, your returns will likely beat the appreciation on all but the rare few autos. Case in point, I bought a '69 Boss 429 in '79, obviously a high dollar car. I sold in 2005. Doing the math indicates that I made around 9% annually not accounting for maintenance, insurance, etc.
I'm the same way. I did have a Gen 5 Z/28. Drove the crap out of it and LOVED every single minute. Sold it to get my first Porsche and I dearly miss the Z. To this day, hands down the most fun car I've ever driven (though my ZLE is starting to give it a run for the money). If I'd done it right I'd have bought two of them, one to put in storage as an investment and one to drive. To own a Z/28 and not drive it is a crime against humanity!
