Sarcasm duly noted.
I can just imagine being retired and sitting in a rocking chair out on the
porch telling my grand kids about how I used to own a Honda Accord and the
driving pleasure, stories, and experiences it provided.
What makes these cars valuable is that there is a fixed number and there are no
more. The more rare, the more valuable. Hence the value gap between a straight
forward BN2 and a factory 100M. These are old cars and they are-what-they-are,
which is a whole lot of fun with a potential financial upside. Can't remember
the last time I jumped in my Microsoft stock and enjoyed a Sunday afternoon in
the sun. Anyways to each his own.

Also, it's pretty dang silly to spend $35K on a (barely) decent BJ8 when you
can get a new, nicely-appointed Honda Accord--with enough left over for a few
pairs of Birkenstocks and a couple fanny packs--for that.

I don't doubt they have sold for that, particularly, at the overhyped RM
auctions. I just don't see how they are worth that when they are just BN2
's with a few bolt on extras.
If I had 175K to spend on a car it wouldn't be a 100M
