BAT does a good job at curating the coolest cars that people can identify with but, over the years, they have created a market that is pushing the prices of those cars out of reach for most people. I once thought of owning an E30 M3 but BAT has almost single-handedly made sure that will never happen.

This Reminds me of the BAT Yugo auction , I wonder how that ended
There are a lot of guys with money-that either are car enthusiasts or investors. The thing is-they are speculating that there is going to be a generation behind them that will pay more than they did when it comes time for them (or their next of kin) to liquidate their estate.
That's the interesting part-since classic cars are going for unbelievable amounts these days.

The guys that tried to treat C4 Corvettes as investments are cussing themselves.
Exactly. Beautiful example of a historic vehicle.
Same reason people pay big money for low mileage cars from the 50's, that often drive like crap.
The Integra Type R is one of the most appreciating classic cars out there right now.
I just don’t know. I can’t see it. I had that in a 96 with the regular motor. Could never get the seat right and my back ached in that car. It was an economy car. It was honda-precise and the suspension was superb, but the interior wasn’t my favorite to spend long hours in.
a strong crosswind pulled the underbody plastic off the thing in WV one morning when it was less than a year old. All those pieces just interlock together. It was a gusty day and mine was fighting to hold 65mph in buffeting winds when this wall of air (what it felt like) whipped from the right side and pushed the whole car around. The stuff beneath the car popped off from the pressure and tangled in the tires. It was a mess. A few more clips in that design would have been nice.
