I've realized if I suddenly became rich it isn't the Mclaren P1's, 488 spyders, Adventador SV's i'd be buying, but the absolutely minty-est version of the E92 M3, S2000, E30 M3, Air cooled P car, 996 GT3, 67 GT500, E39 M5, etc etc is what i'd buy. My garage would look like an early 2000's movie set. Lol.

This is literally why the local car market is so fucked. So many boomers and others got suddenly rich by selling their homes for 3x what they paid, are moving further out and using this new equity to buy their ‘blue collar dream car’
Actually the list of 5-15 year old cars I would buy is worryingly long. Lol.
Same here except more like 10-35. I'd maybe have one exotic, like a Pagani or a Koenigsegg, but only if I had the money left after building a huge hanger and filling it with a mountain of clean examples of pretty normal sports cars.

Only "exotic" I would own is a 6 speed Murcielago. I'd buy the lowest mileage "museum quality" example out there, and track/daily/roadtrip/drive it as much as possible just to piss off the collectors.
Wow totally don't get this... there's literally nothing better about this gen than the brand new ones except, arguably, the styling being the most popular.
I can understand the 22B since it never came here and has racing pedigree, etc.... but why would you overspend the brand new 2021 model for this thing lol

Good point actually, I'd want to do the same with a McLaren F1. I used to think Countach, but I believe those are supposed to be absolutely horrible to drive and the definition of "don't meet your hero's". I'd love to go for a spin in one though.

Are cars even that good of an investment compared to actual investments though? Especially considering that you'll likely have to do at least a little work to it at some point, and storing it has a cost even if you own the property it's on since a) you had to pay to get that space and b) if the car is just sitting there you're missing out on the income you could be getting from renting the space to someone else.

IMO piss poor investments.
The crazy "hot" attainable cars of the moment - S2000, E46, etc - none of them have even met their new price after inflation. And that's if you have a mint, unmodified, low km/mile with desirable specs and colour.
If you've kept a 04 LSB E46 from new till now, put minimal driving on it, you still need to consider the opportunity cost of insurance, maintenance, and a parking space for the last 17 years.
We can talk about the crazier cars like Ford GTs. Yeah RS are a bunch of ballers, but we aren't THAT ballin to be playing with collectible exotics.
Collectors grind my gears, not because they have money, but because the cars are a ghost for 99.9% of their life.
Look at it this way. There are far fewer collectors than there are drivers. The collectors enable companies to keep selling crazy wacky cars and nice examples are preserved for the future. Without collectors, you wouldn't see half the stuff you see in museums. All the stuff came out of some guys garage cuz he just loved having them.
