This is all so friggin goofy. A MILLION for a muscle car??? I still don't care. One day in 20 years when my Deuce is worth a half million because Yenko Camaros are bringing two million. I will still drive in bumper to bumper traffic in the ghetto like I did this afternoon and still beat the piss out of it at SCR27. This is what they were meant to do.

Not to sound like a jerk or anything, but it's easy to say that when you didn't pay the half million for the car. If you paid what the car was worth, would you really be driving it that often? Especially if it was your life's savings you had invested in the car because you always wanted one! I love to see the guys who bought the rare, high performance cars back in the late 60's and early 70's driving and racing them. But, the car isn't worth the current market value to them if they never plan on selling. Take Eddie and his ZL1 for example. Let's say he bought it for $15K back when he saw the ad for sale. Today the car is probably worth $400-600K but to him it's still only worth $15K because that's what he paid for it and he never plans to sell it. So buying a car at a low price and driving it doesn't compare to buying a car at current market price and driving it. D@m, that was a long winded reply I just gave. Anyway, I've been waiting for the ZL1's to reach the $1 million mark since they will kick a hemi's butt on the track anyway!
