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.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
