    Steve, I bought my first Porsche in UK, 1984 - 1973 911S coupe. Price: 4,300 Pounds. That was the beginning of the “hobby”.
    And that’s how many of us regard it - a hobby we are passionate about.
    Hobbies aren’t embarked upon as an investment - of time and of the soul perhaps, but not for money. When a hobby moves to “making money” as its objective, then it becomes a “business”. Some owners have chosen that route so buying and selling moves to the fore. For us “Hobbyists”, it’s the joy & pride of ownership, the camaraderie and friendships, sharing and gaining of knowledge and the tinkering that goes with it. That’s the part that’s PRICELESS!!!!
    When the values go up, you thank goodness you already own and enjoy one. When they go down, you drive it just as much.
    It only really matters when you want to sell it - one day that will happen - but for me, it ain’t any time soon!!!
