A lesson in investments for you Noobs
Buy a popular, very common, no thrills, everyday, run-of-the-mill, cheap sports car for lets say 18K.
Store it for 18 years.
Sell it for 25K.
Make 7k return on your investment! Easiest 1.3% return you'll ever make. Let this be a lesson, never put your savings away in a Roth IRA, that would be plain silly.

on the same note in the back of car and driver or road and track some one bought an ad, the add gives examples on "investment grade automobiles" while things like the CGT is on it so is the SSR, i really do not see that stupid truck going way up in value.

A friend bought a mint 1970 Electra-Glide from a Shriner. The owner would not sell it unless my friend promised him we would not modify it. My friend promised and a year later we had stripped the bike, chromed everything that could be chromed, painted it black, installed a kick starter, installed a springer front end, and a suicide clutch (foot clutch, side shifter).
It was a totally different bike, the original owner would have **** his pants if he saw that bike, but it was Beautiful
