And you can not drive 10 cars. 2-3, max 4 maybe.

If you go for 10, you get something that would hold value, like old muscle or something. He got 10 new and regular which all lose value and on top of that you can not drive them all.
Cars in general are a horrible investment. But in the case of MarcD or any collector, it's not about the money wasted.

I don't think I'll ever buy a new car again. It's more fun buying something older, restoring it, and then having fun with it. I have about $7k invested into my old truck, it's like brand new, runs like a champ, and I'm not afraid to take it four wheeling at the lake - much more fun than any sports car I've owned.
