I honestly don't know where you are coming up with that mindset, but I honestly cannot agree with your statement. As it has been stated over and over, ownership of most collector vehicles is NOT an investment, -nor should it be considered as such.

Your last sentence is very accurate though. Many car enthusiasts do NOT have the financial ability to afford owning a collector car, -and shouldn't however they do so anyway. That in a nutshell is why they can't take care of it.
