    That pretty much describes our entire culture, maybe the world right now. Ray Dalio calls it Negative Polarity and it's powerful (as is Positive Polarity which has happened a couple of times in my long life). Bubbles everywhere, chaos everywhere. God bless us all.

    I've always restored and tuned them to #1's and driven them to #2's. Not a great way to make money but a great way to enjoy life.

    "I've always believed that people who buy these cars as investments, not appreciating fully their qualities as cars, get what they deserve - win or lose."
    I Have always enjoyed building these cars. I am fascinated with the design/engineering and get great pleasure from the build.
    I have built them to be "surf chasers" 1966 912
    to be functional art objects 1961 Roadster
    And therapeutic exercise 1968 911L Targa
    All have given me great satisfaction and pleasure.

    Could not agree more Bob ^^^^. Building and working on these cars brings me joy. They are a canvas. And since John posted I will add that I can't wait to add his high quality lights to my car!
