(edit) But even the "lofty few" aren't really investments. You have to maintain the car, insure it, store it, etc. Compared to a nice no load index fund, the return on any car isn't that great. That's the point...buy what you like because you like it, but don't consider it an investment. I have a hellofa time keeping a straight face whenever a car salesman says a car is a "great investment".
(edit again) Here's a video of a poor Brit...the other end of it...a Porsche "behind book" rant. Video lifted from a post on PARF.
