When you can blow $267,000 on a car that will never ever be driven, I think it's more about bragging rights of just owning one. Look at all these YouTube videos coming out about guys that have 20-40-100 rare or valuable cars just sitting in barns collecting dust or slowly rotting away. Haggerty has had quite a few of them. Crazy.
Agreed. I have a couple of friends who have a couple buildings full, though admittedly they have more of a semi-organized pack-rat thing going on, but a bunch of GM (read "God's Mistake") stuff just sitting in temp controlled buildings. Some of it is cool stuff, being they are primarily Pontiac fiends (Pontiac made some very nice looking cars), but there are a lot of cars just sitting, never to see daylight again in their lifetime. We always joke that their collection will one day make a nice auction for someone.
As I tell people, cars are for driving, not parking on a doily--but that's me....
