Hobby...
it's different when cars are a hobby. I like cars myself...still longing after my Chevy with a V8...I could easily get me a classic car some day, something late 60's american would be a dream.
But still, that'd be a hobby and working hard on it...and it's value would only rise...but to spend 30k on an everyday rider when you are still renting while nearing 40 years of age? That is different.
