Sounds like Goldberg is a "real" car guy from what people who seem to know him have to say, so if he's got the desire and the cocconuts to buy a Yenko, then I guess it's more power to him. It's not that I have a problem with people of wealth or status buying and owning these cars, it's the idea that Yenkos may so dramatically take off in popularity and status, that they'll cease to be an enthusiast's car. I guess being so near to Canonsburg, and having been fascinated with Yenko cars for more than half of my life, they've taken on somewhat of an aura for me, and I've always sort of looked at them as an underground kind of thing only to be understood and appreciated by those in the know. Nowadays Yenkos certainly aren't underground by any means, but I still think they're something you really need to understand to fully appreciate. Years back the car to have was the Ferarri Daytona Spyder. Everyone and his brother was plunking down crazy loot to own one, whether they understood and appreciated the car's significance, or simply wanted the car from Miami Vice. Now the "interest" has dropped on these cars for whatever reason, and they don't trade hands for the exorbitant sums that they once did. Are the cars any less valuable or significant to the true Ferarri gurus who coveted them long before the wave of popularity, I guess not, but I don't think the wave of enthusiasm that others once shared for the cars did them any good. That may be a bad example, but it's just what happened to pop into my head, because I know nothing about Ferarri Daytona Spyders other than that they used to be the status car to have, for whatever reason. I'd hate for Yenko cars to assume the same status, and begin to be grabbed up by folks who don't fully appreciate and understand the Yenko legacy. I guess I'm just sayin' that if I see Ashton Kutcher driving a Yenko car before I get mine, I'm gonna puke.
I also hope Goldberg watches this site, and would consider attending and enjoying a reunion with a bunch of us true car guys, heck it may be the one place he could go and not be hounded about wrestling all weekend.
