I think a lot of the time it is realizing a dream that came true and then deciding there are other dreams to be realized that may take you in a different direction! In my case it was a 40+ year memory that became a dream as retirement approached, then that dream came true after I retired. I already had the Vette, but my memory was the raw horsepower from the 60s and that of a white with blue striped car that i really didn't realize what it was at the time sitting in a showroom in NYC in 65. After a lot of research, I got exactly the one I wanted and have no plans to part with it. I probably put 1k miles a year on mine in the 3 I have owned it. It is everything that other posters have described, but it is exactly what I wanted and expected. The original owner sold it to me with 1100 miles on it after his wife got a snake bite getting out. I guess I could see many reasons to sell them, but for me there are many more to keep them!!
