Haha I like how you have a name for yours too. A friend of mine coined "Monster Boxster," and it kinda stuck LOL

Face it boys and girls the market for toys has gone down considerably since the global financial crisis.

Bass boats, ski boats, planes, sports cars, campers, 4 wheelers, riding lawnmowers, motorcycles, tractors, RVs, race cars, yachts and sailboats are all in great supply at historically low prices.

The only thing I would not try to buy now is a used hybrid or an electric car.

This can be perceived as good or bad. It all depends on which side of the transaction you are on.

I think that the possibility of picking up a used GT3 and a 35' sailboat for the price of a new 911 is not a bad thing. The key is that you have to USE what you buy and not trade three times to find what you thought you wanted the first time.

This is a market for buyers who keep stuff for the usable life of the item, not for traders or speculators.

This is the time to fill out your collection and build value for later.

"cheap women" is an oxymoron.
