I've seen your car, Paul. I'd count you first and foremost as a very lucky (or very smart -- your choice) guy.
You polish it because it's a keeper for life, not because you got your broker on the line and put a small fleet of them together.
But even for the guys who collect handfuls of very pristine, very rare cars, I don't want to sound like I disagree with what they're doing. It's just not what floats my particular boat.
(That, and I'm way too poor to be a collector.)
