That's a reasonable opinion

Hell my car are not cheap to get parts to either as its alot of special parts there, made in very low numbers but you deal with it cuz you love the car......

Well I didn't say it was less desirable because it was more expensive, just less accessable.

Of course dreams are important, but sometimes it's better to live, not to dream. I was joking about the weeping and poetry btw

Well the idea of "sports car" changes every so often. I'm sure 30 years from now people will look at the F430 and be surprised it was considered one of the finest sports cars of its' day

Well not a deciding factor, but still a pretty important part of the decision.

I'm not denying myself a dream, but owning a Vette is part of that massive garage dream. The C5 Z06, because pop-up headlights rock
Kinda silly I know, but i guess that "wow that's awesome" feeling you get as a kid doesn't really go away, even when the technology is outdated. I also used to love the yellow headlights they put in French cars
