Well Gentlemen, here are my 2 cents on this matter,

1st an analogy, as a gun collector there is always a better and nicer looking gun, eventhough I will never use it, but nice to have.

I have been there done that....
Spent 11 years building a car with my son which was supposed to be a 1 year restoration, it turn out to be an 11 year boodoggle and $30K which I will never recover. Now the Jeep is done, it is sitting in my garage, after my son got married, now he needs the $$ and the car is for sale. Go figure only put 400miles after resto.

I sold my dream 1967 Volvo 123 GT which since 1969 vowed to look for a replacement after totalling mine back in 1969. Found and exact car in show condition, dropped $8K in upgrdades and sold for a hefty proffit to a Volvo collector after 3 years...drove it 2000 miles after all these dreams.

Bought my Cobra 1 1/2 years ago, I don't think I will ever sell it, but want another one now---- where I am storing it? No clue. Men like boys, the more toys we have the better we feel, that is just a fact.

I agree that ex wifes, divorce , kids in college, blah blah are powerful reasons too. But ll in all enjoy while you are around.
