I have an older brother that loves cars but especially enjoys them looking perfect. His cars sit in the garage under covers and look like their brand new. We're taking 2005 corvette coupe with 28K miles and 87 Corvette Pace car with about 50K miles. It has nothing to do with thinking they're investments. He drives each of the cars every week or two on a Saturday and then brings them home and cleans them up.

Thats how he enjoys cars. My cars are nice drivers but nothing compared to his cosmetically.
To each his own.
