No doubt about that. I bought my JL8 car because I wanted to have something different that if I had to sell it would hold more value than most Camaros. My 401K isn't exactly performing very well either.

You actually might want to check your most recent 401K statement; mine has started bouncing back again

Seriously though, there are a lot of people now in the hobby that NEVER drive their cars, nor do they ever intend to. They are buying whatever the market says will increase in value the fastest. It's always been a nice side benefit of this hobby to expect some appreciation in the car's value, but that shouldn't be the only reason to buy a classic car.

Heck, I drove my '67 Camaro RS/SS 396 in the snow a few weeks ago. Well, the snow started during my drive and the streets were clear. Here in Seattle the 'cabin fever' sets in after several weeks of gray skies so I had to get the Camaro out for a little therapy session. The best part is about 20 minutes after I get home and close up the garage. I go out there and the whole garage smells of a mixture of 100LL Avgas/92 octane, a tinge of burned oil (105,000-mile motor), rubber and vinyl. You just don't get that from new cars. Brain cells? Who cares! I just love the way the garage smells after a drive.
