Considering the number of 'collector cars' he has identified that
have lost value (-$$$), I'm glad I didn't buy my Tiger for an
investment. A recent column talked about the soft Ferrari auction
market and the big drop in auction prices. Lots of investors lost
money big time, selling cars now for less $$$ that were paid for in
the late 80's. For me, an investment is something that is carefully
locked away to preserve it until sold again for more money. Driving
my Tiger down a winding road with the top down is an investment in my
mental health.

Fellow Tiger owners:
In AutoWeek, Keith Martin offers yet another tepid analysis of the Tiger
as an investment (probably true). Fine; _investors_ as a group usually
screw up anything they touch. If they get burned, tough! I'd prefer it
if they left "our car" alone. Mr. Martin has, likely as not, done us a favor.
