There is no point commuting in the car and putting pointless miles on it IMO, but to leave the car parked in the garage is not only a waste, its 99% that it will be a stupid and pointless investment. 911s aside, none of these cars climbing in value have out-accellerated other smart investments, (or even inflation since the market crash,) which don't require insurance costs and the value of a garage space in Vancouver, or worse yet, storage costs. These cars that are climbing in value, are basically just climbing enough to make the maintenance and insurance costs offset. You made 25k in 5 years on an e30 m3 and only drove it 2k? Big deal! You also paid 5-10k in insurance, a couple k fixing random crap on an old car and 5k in storage costs for a car you didn't drive! A car being an investment is an anomaly. Making a few grand off of a car sitting in a garage is a fucking waste.
