Re: New ZR-1 Owner
Congratulations.
I am 34 so it is nice to see another owner who grew up in the 80s and 90s when these cars were Front Page News. Re: the investment. We are a different generation. After seeing our parents' (and my own) retirement accounts slashed because somebody else didnt make their mortgage payment, we want something tangible. And if we want to put our money in something we can put our hands on it might as well be something we can enjoy. After all, I can only stuff just so many bars of gold under my bed. Drive the car, take good care of it and enjoy it. Unless you wrap it around a toll both the value won't be relegated to 0 overnight. Can't say the same for my WAMU, LEH or WB stock. |

Re: New ZR-1 Owner
Welcome to the best group of folks I have found in many years. Forget the "investment" enjoy the extension of your being that has 4 wheels. Drive it like you stole it but take care of it like an expectant wife. Everything you give to the car it will give back in enjoyment, it won't add to your waistline and you will never have to look for more reasons to enjoy everything about her. Yeah I know "King of the hill" but to me the car is just like a real good woman. You take good car or her and she will do likewise. Neglect it a bit and you will suffer the consequences. But she will forgive you quickly when you return the care.
And yes at being 36 years your senior I am very jealous that you have the opportunity to spend many more years with yours than I will with mine. But I have made arrangements for mine to be added to our museum when I am gone. Take pictures and post them. Congratulations on your choice, purchase and finding this brotherhood. Wayne
