Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 1 52 year-old Ferrari or 100 new ones

[Brian E. Buxton (BrianBuxton]

Oh come on clYde - How is buying a perfectly kept car not loving the marque?  You are only a true collector if you have dents dings and scratches?  While cars are made to be driven, cigars are also made to be smoked and wine drunk.  BUT there are an awful lot of all of the above in collections, getting better, more rare and more valuable year by year.  I would say there is some love and respect that goes into not driving a car in the rain, keeping it mechanically up to date and yet preserving its originality.  People who drive their cars but yet at the same time trash them I'm not so sure you can say that about.  Two different types of people using cars in 2 different ways.  But regardless of whether you drive it or not, they both still need service and maintenance.

Only Posers buy cars from people like that

Not true lovers of the marque 

The up side is that they keep great mechanics in business 

Since buying a car or anything mechanical like that is like buying the space shuttle challenger 

It's going to blow up as soon as it's leaves the pad! 

In victory you deserve Champagne

In defeat you need it!

     

Scars are Tattoos with better stories !

If you follow all the rules

You miss all the fun!

Everyone contributes to the hobby in their own way.  People make fun of the Q-tip crowd that like to show their cars over driving them, but those are also the people that everyone wants to buy from.  Low mileage, meticulously cared for, clean top to bottom.

Why a hundred cars?  You'd have to go to the Middle East, China or Russia to see the answer.

The same "nothing exceeds like excess" will be seen held high around Pebble and Quail this week(end) but there are still the true enthusiasts.  Whether they're the Q-tip brigade or time travelers living in their imaginary past, or billionaires and humble millionaires with their pristine historically significant cars completely rebuilt except for one rotten wood frame joint, or the guys with just as much money running original and unrestored cars or the hard core oil-sniffers sweating in the paddock at Laguna to run a few laps at a pace slower than a Kia mini-van with a whole soccer team on board,  they're all enjoying motor cars and motor sport in their own way.  

Let the collectors, traders and speculators do their thing.  It should be their freedom to choose a damned life wasting money on stacking material objects of greed and envy.  Hopefully some of their fiscal table scraps go to charities and philanthropy.  I don't mean to hold others to a higher standard than I try to achieve of myself and I'm not so altruistic as to expect a sudden overwhelming shift from selfishness and greed to benevolence and caring.  

I just wish they'd stick to unimportant paint and canvas, trinkets and baubles.
