I agree about using them as intended as that what you will remember most about the car.
I have to disagree about them not becoming collectable. When I was 18 years old (28 years ago) I had a Mk1 Ford Fiesta XR2 (a very mass produced car here in the UK) which I paid £2500 for when it was 4 years old, now mint ones are changing hands for over £10,000 here in the UK (US reader google them, still a nice looking car now)
In my eyes its mass produced cars that make the best classics as its these cars that people remember and relate too, probably because they owned one / always wanted one or knew someone that did.
I go to many car shows and ye it nice to see Million pound Ferrs and Lambos but its nicer for me to see cars I owned as a younger man or cars my dad owned.
I think you have to be of a certain age to get where I'm coming from on this.
Does anyone agree
