Not to mention if it's taking up space in a garage, that's a space that you could rent for $100 or so a month. $100*12*20 = $24,000 + the interest you earned off your original unspent 20g's. Collecting cars is a rich man's game. Until you're rich, wise up :-P

You obviously don't drive anywhere else often. Jersey simply has THE worst roads in the country. Bad enough to break my car.

I know a few car collectors, one in the family even, and it's definitely a rich mans game.

Modding cars shouldn't be considered an investment (unless you're some kind of sponsored race team or you plan to build a business out of your skills learned but how many people really pull that off?). Hell a car can't be an investment so modding one definitely shouldn't be ;) I look at modding as a final financial outlet... Like eating dinner at a fancy restaurant, drinking a beer or going to the strip club. Pure fun.

lol, we here rip up roads and then leave it that way for at least a good month before they get back to it.

angdefeo · 10-30-2009, 03:00 PM

295 is in good shape. i drove it from the delaware memorial bridge to rt 70. it was completly repaved except for the little stretch that it shares the road with rt42.

angdefeo · 10-30-2009, 03:05 PM

there is some good news about that car. in a few more years, they will become classic's and can be imported and driven on our roads without any special modifications.

Elliott18t · 10-30-2009, 03:08 PM

^ yup, want one soo bad lol.

piku · 10-30-2009, 03:10 PM

****, the last time i drove on the NJ turnpike was, 5 years ago?

angdefeo · 10-30-2009, 03:13 PM

so do i. if i had the money i would buy one now and have my brothers in italy keep it in a garage and buy as many replacement parts that they can get there hands on.

i had a chance to drive in a 1995 red integrale. it was red with the tan leather interior. all i remember is the roar of the engine and exhaust. the other thing that still rings from that experience was my uncle looking to the driver who is his close friend and says "there could be 4 families crying." he accelerated to hard onto the highway that he used the shoulder to pass a slow moving tractor trailer and then zoomed into the left lane. there were 4 people going for a ride on a saturday morning.
