Some cars you can, and really only if you do the work yourself. You wont ever see this in modern tuner cars. Classic cars, sometimes

Thats my point. I'm talking about your everyday cars with mods on in the news paper or on ebay or the auto trader..whatever your source for used cars is. Why are those cars listed as 'invested' cars?

"investment-a devoting, using, or giving of time, talent, emotional energy, etc., as for a purpose or to achieve something"

maybe he wasn't investing for money, just investing time and money to achieve the car of his dreams...

i know, thats sounds retarded....it is a bad "investment"

LOL at -->
Questions from other members

Q: That thing is not even a car anymore its a work of art. I couldnt understand the rationality on selling such a piece not even for any amount.
Answered on Jan-28-08
A:
Thanks for the kind words!


Q: Will this car help me drift harder?
Answered on Jan-27-08
A:
I wouldn't drift such a beautiful car. Drifting only kills cars. I recommend you go to your local scrap yard and pick up a beater to destroy.

I'm surprised you were able to get out the store with that big "SUCKER" sign affixed to your back.
