I guess if you're Jay Leno or something, things are different but I look at the appreciated value of a rare car more as an extra perk that comes with my hobby than anything else.


Someone in my building is trying to rent out a parking space for $175/month. The sad thing is I notice many stalls that are just completely empty for months now.


In some parts of the city it can easily cost over a quarter million dollars to convert a garage into a "laneway" home garnering easily over a $1000 a month in rent alone.


I postulate these trends to causal relationship as to why alpha males nowadays can't explain what the role of an alternator does in a car, can't disassemble a spent vacuum cleaner, and are double fisting their phones while leaving the front entrance of a nightclub while J-walking to the bus stop.
