Default Re: Thinking of getting out....

You are certainly not alone in your thinking. I have spoken to a number of people this summer who are also contemplating getting out of the hobby for various reasons. Most feel that the prices have gotten so crazy that they are now afraid to drive their cars on the street. Others are tired of the politics and BS that is so prevalent in the hobby now. Personally, I always thought that I would have 5 or 6 collector cars, but I am focussed on 3 now and once I have them, that will be more than enough - too expensive now and with new cars like the Z06 or new Camaro coming out, the idea of having both old and new is attractive to me.

My only additional advice would be to sell off one at a time starting with the one that you are least attached to and leave 6 months or so wait time between each sale just to make sure that you are OK after the car is gone. Best of luck with your decision.
