It's hard to put a value on seeing a Miata grill fade into your rearview
mirror...

That isn't difficult, most Pickup trucks or the motorcycle of your choice...

If you recall back in the 80s, collector cars as an investment
really took off, and in the process, cars were grossly overvalued,
forcing the people who really liked the cars out of the market, it was
shameful! .....

If your roadster doubled in value tomorrow, it wouldn't drive you out of the
market......
I bought an old Fender Stratocaster about 10 years ago,
like many of the replies on the list that say "I bought it to drive",
"I bought the guitar to Play". It cost me about 500.00. I didn't buy it
for
the collectability or the appreciation, but because it played great and I could
afford it.
The last time I checked it was worth about 1800.00. That appreciation hasn't
"forced me to sell it", and parts still cost about what they did 5 years ago.
I am not planning on selling it, but if I HAD to or wanted to, it is worth
considerably
more than what I paid. Sorry, I just don't see that as a bad thing!
Jim
