Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Re. Sports cars

[Stephen Sherman (sherman]

What I find missing in these thread or maybe what I find is that most (those 
that post, anyhow) seem to be preoccupied what is WORTH after you buy the 
parts and do or pay for the labor.

I cought myself doing the same thing when over at a friends house and he 
was/is restoring a 55 cheve. It is/was a complete rust bucket. I asked him 
why he was pouring bucket of money and more time than he can ever hope to 
recover.  'My brothers and sister went to drive-in movies
in the back seat with dad driving and mom riding shot gun in this car'. case 
closed.

Me I personally never buy a car, boat, airplane or anything planing on 
selling it or what it is worth when I am done with it.

You can't put a price tag when you finish a project.

Don't get me wrong I hate working on the daley driver, but those $'s saved 
provide funds
for my toys.

Another point in 1975 when I bought my Cessna Aerobat I was making $10,000 a 
year.

I am not rich or even close to it .

rick I believe you are getting 98% return :-)
