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.

i just saw the m.net post and was thinking the same thing, what a dumbass...
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.

haha i was thinking something along those lines.....like crush the car by dropping the thousands of pounds of quarters i've been saving over the years in my basement (because it's a good way to save money) onto it
Whaaaat, you mean Miatas are not good investments
**** I have 4 Miatas and was hoping to retire with the profits from them along with the social security checks I will be receiving. Guess I'm screwed

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
forget the monser truck idea, just buy it then do the bigest burnout possible in his diveway. then proceed to not use the clutch when leavig and grind the **** outta the gears.
