After visiting the Corvette Museum in Tarpon Springs and then the private collection at the owners home with the BMW Club I would have to say why ask why?

To me if the car is mint, hasn't had the odometer rolled back, etc. and I have money like that guy does (the owner of the Vette museum), and I could keep it in classic condition, I would buy it and garage it because of my own passion for Honda's and the CRX.

 

There is a distinct difference between a classic Vette and a late 80s/early 90s Honda CRX. Namely, one is a higly prized collector's peice and the other is one of a zillion econoboxes made to be beat down and thrown away like every other cheap econobox.

Its like having a collection full of knockoff antiques. They're not worth something just because they're old, even if they're well-kept.

 

Corvettes have always been saught after cars, by the young and old, rich and poor.

CRX's are bought and swapped by teenagers becuase its the best they can afford at the time. What happens when they grow up and can afford a nicer car?

 

I understand about what you are saying about the Vette but it is obvious that you have never seen his collection because he has rare cars and production cars alike.

I'm a tad eccentric and I have my own passions just like anyone else. If I like something and other people say whatever about it that is okay because that is me and I am not trying to be them.

On the quesiton of being able to afford a nicer car when they grow older or just adults in general who drive older "production" cars, there I have to totally disagree with you. I can give several examples of people who could afford anything but choose to drive what they drive daily for any amount of reasons.

I think you are getting caught up in the sterotypes here of what people should own and should collect and forgetting the basic individuality we all have.

 

My prelude used to be that clean. =/

 

Fixed.
