I've switched my focus to cars where the cost:fun ratio hasn't completely left the building. I'm currently restoring a pretty good '67 MGB and watching this auction right now:

The sounds in the driving video are like crack. I used to be heavily into Porsches and Alfas but it was never about pure performance; there were always much faster cars out there. It was about the fun...the beauty of the cars, the sounds, the smells, etc...

Porsche used to check the fun box for a reasonable price but now they are all considered super collectible, even the most boring, who gives a sht stock targas and cabs, all of them. The car in this thread is a pretty car that is in great condition but has lost a lot of its collector value, a CIS engine in an early car is not considered an upgrade. Still, I think that it did pretty well in the auction.
