Well yes and no. I think you could have bought a worthy workhorse for much less than an 86 however.. You chose to make your driving time more enjoyable and got the 86. Maybe "nothing but" was too strong wording. I see that now.

I agree it's still not a worthy investment however: Not counting extra storage cost and upkeep I do tihnk the value of these will increase significantly. I don't think inflation will affect niche commodities (like these will become) that much, if at all. We can all agree that these will become cult classics.. combine that with all the electric/assisted.. all around not driver focused cars that will be coming out in 20 years and these may just be some of the last Front engine, manual, RWD, gas powered Sports cars we will ever see... That is sometihng special and it could be worth a shit ton to somebody down the road.
