Money rules this hobby absolutely these days. In the era of $800,000 ZL-1's and $200,000 Yenkos, these are no longer referred to as fast,fun cars but as investments.

<font color="red"> Not true. Our cars are fast, fun cars, not investments. </font>


The "hobby" factor is over. Especially for the little guy that works a regular job and could never save up enough money to own his dream car. When the obscene amounts of money came into the picture, everybody wanted in on it and morals just went down the proverbial toilet. How did I miss the point in time where a '69 Camaro is worth more than most homes. I've always been convinced that more money is acquired by ill means than honest ones. The key to material wealth is self-preservation and not to be concerned with "hurting someone's feelings". If this is you and you can sleep well at night, then congrats. Don't forget the old adage, "nice guys finish last". And they don't get rich either.

<font color="red"> I know several nice guys who have done quite well for themselves. I think the key was, instead of complaining about how bad things were, they went out and made $$$ the old fashioned way, hard work. </font>
