I get what the person above said though.

My dad had a classic car - it was a beautiful 1960's Firebird (I remember when he installed seat belts in the back). It wasn't a daily driver, so it spent most of its time in the garage. As us kids were getting older, days which would be spent cruising around were instead spent at soccer games, home maintenance, etc.

Anyway, you can't keep them in the garage indefinitely and expect them to appreciate. They need to be driven or the gas goes bad, connections corrode, paint chips, and leather cracks. Plus classic cars don't appreciate that quickly, it's not a good investment.

So my dad sold the car to some young guy who would appreciate it and drive it, using the money to keep a roof over our heads during a few lean years.
