To me, a car is something utilitarian. I like my cheap, gas powered civic hatchback with a CVT and I don't feel the inclination for anything more. But if I see anyone with a rear wheel engine, air cooled car, I don't think about it but its something they value and prefer having.

No disrespect to you or Paul, but anyone can have a Hamilton or a Seiko or a Timex or what have you. A classic watch comprised of yesteryear's technology and tomorrow's presentation is difficult to achieve and is well worth the price to put on your wrist, if you are so inclined.
