F**k the market. That's what got us into this mess - people restoring these cars to make a buck instead of restoring them because they love them.

Thanks for that, I just snorted coffee out my nose!

I'm not in the car business. Never have been, never will be, the cars I own I will most likely never make a buck off of. I have loved cars since before I was able to drive. I stepped out of the "hobby" for a number of years because of financial issues.

I consider myself somewhat of a novice in the whole "numbers" thing, so my comments comes from the viewpoint of a plebe in this game the way it's played now. I understand that there are people here who do live in the car biz and those who don't, I don't have an ax to grind with anyone here.

That being said, I do have an interest in seeing the hobby preserved and prosper, why, because I need sources, services, parts..... and all those resources that allow me to enjoy my cars, one of the only hobbies that I have now.Some things I can do myself and feel very comfortable in the results, some things I cant, or do I have the capital to tool-up,equip for, or would it make sense to for the amount of use I would give them. So I am somewhat tied to that "market" such that if the market dies, so do a lot of the services and sources that "I" need for my enjoyment.

As a novice I'm sure my prospective is very different that most people here. That's all I'm offering is a view of how I feel when I look at what is going on and I see a situation that is going to keep people from coming aboard.

Maybe I'm completely missing the boat. But from my perspective the deal gets scarier every day.
