My 993 was expensive to me when I bought it and my income level has increased at about the same level as the value of the car. This makes it easy. I still drive it whenever I want. I still park it in the street and overnight. The only point I hesitate a bit more is track driving. I may only go 7/10 now instead of 9/10.  The track is the only place you'll lose the car unless you have track insurance.

My daily driver is a 2015 Mercedes S550 it is worth a hell of a lot more than my 930 I take it everywhere and never worry about it. But it is easily replaceable as the 930 is not. The thought is not so much the added value but the added attention the cars are getting. I would hate to see the car stolen, stripped and lost forever.
As I mentioned there are many recent threads about Pelican members cars being stolen over the past few months. One just recently was stolen from inside his enclosed trailer outside the Motel he was staying at. Luckily it was recovered.
