Some of you will get stuck driving minivans. Trust me, to some, it's happening. You'll need practical or you'll need enough money to afford practical and a toy. You'll also want a three car garage or storage for your toy that you are keeping forever. You don't want that valuable toy sitting in the rain or snow you know. That's expensive so you better make plenty of money and not all of you will. Sorry, that's also a fact.

Cars also age. It's one thing to own a 1-5 year old car and think it's going to be "fresh" like that forever. It's entirely another thing to actually own a 15-20 year old car.

Also, for those not going the kid-wife-practical route, In the future, some new great model will be out that you have to have and you'll look at your Z as a nice down payment and a hassle to own 2 toys, one now aging.

There may be one or two of you to actually keep it. The guy with the 280 for 20+ I might believe. The rest of you, nope.

Me? I learned that cars have no souls. I used to get attached. Now, out with the old and in with the new. Next up, New Corvette.
