You know what is funny is that I have a two and a half car garage. Two of
my Brit cars reside in there regularly. My wife's and my regular drivers
line up in the driveway even though both of them are worth more than both of
the cars in the garage. Must be an emotional thing rather than a pragmatic
thing... even though she accuses me of being the ultimate pragmatist.

It depends on the situation, Maybe a $10k Bugeye.
And yes, for those of us who work on our own cars, yes it can be
quite affordable.
But I just got back from the Kintnersville show today
and was talking to a guy who spent that much just on paint and body work
on his Bugeye. Needless to say he does not drive it to work everyday.
I don't know why this topic has struck such nerve. It's a plain fact that
most
running Bugeyes are not daily drivers, despite the diehards who feel that
it should not be that way. Clearly some "careful consideration" has brought
this
about.
In any case, The turnout to the Kintnersville event was sparse maybe 20
vehicles.
It's a shame. I am told that last year they had over 65 cars.
But it was still worthwhile to go. Met some interesting people and there
were
some interesting cars as well.
Some stayed for the "cruise night" they do at the location later in the
evening.
