I have a couple of air cooled cars that I rarely drive. One, I took apart for a minor problem years ago where I had to order a part...and have never fully reassembled (as I moved on to something else while the part was on order). I just don't have the time and when I have time...not enough energy/enthusiasm since no one I know really appreciates the cars but me (so a lonely hobby). I have kept mine as a retirement hobby...hoping to have more time/ambition then. When I go out into the garage and see them in their shiny, shapely wonderfulness, I cannot really imagine giving them up (must be what it is like to have a mistress)...as they really never get old or dull. They are near perfect, so I do hate driving them when I have to park in a less safe place. Not because of their value, but because I would really hate a paint chip or dent (like protecting one's children).
I really don't need the money that selling one would bring (they are as good an investment as any)...and cannot bring myself to spend money on a new car. So, I guess my kids will each get one some day. They will probably sell them before my body is cold.

Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
