If you have a daily driver, it's easy. You end up driving the classic one every 3 to 4 weekends. If you have multiple classics, you would drive it even less. Right now, I drive the frs maybe once a week. I don't park money in cars. I enjoy them. I don't think I could fully enjoy a truly expensive car. Even with the 550i, I always worried I would break it. I would not mind a 323gtx, though.
