I think it's the practicality of it. It is your dream car, and then you get hit by an unexpected rain storm, or you can't take it to a show because there are a chance of showers.

Or, in my case, with a 20 month old and a 3 year old, you realize that you cannot take your kids in it when they are young, and you can only take, "Daddy, take me with you!!!!" for so long. Even though I have wanted one for almost 30 years, I feel like it is MY thing and that the family cannot share it with me unless we take two cars to a show or wherever. I feel selfish at times even though it is my therapy for a stressful career.
