I hate watching the Barret's auction... but drawn like a moth to a flame...
I usually see my $1700+ Mustang Shelby GT350 (well one exactly like it) go out the door for more money then I have made in 30 years... never did get the Vette I always dreamed of...insurance cost was the reason...the cost of the used vette was usually within reach but cost of owner ship was too much for a low ranking enlisted soldier with wife and child...
probably will never own one for same basic reasons..I only dream of the top dawg vette and cost of ownership is beyond our means
along the way I got to own some real fast and well behaved cars but as good as they were technically, they really did not have the panache and allure of the Vette....
Owned or drove all the very best, fastest and technically superior motorcycles through the years... finally got my Harley Davidson FXR big Twin... not as fast, not a very technical bike at all, but she has all the right lines, sounds, feel, and looks, to make her one of the few loved possessions of my life....
I doubt my Smart will ever really fill one of these desire spots for me...but I fully intend to have as much fun in my unique Lil bugger as is possible in any "practical" car
