I appreciate the cars ok, but I have a few questions about the SI-chology of someone that collected that stuff/whatever and never used it, just parked in a barn, and left for decades, so the old krazy bastard/bitch? kicks off and someone opens up the barn is instantly retired.....as in WTF???

sure I leave my vette to my son, daughter and he can divide rest of it up the way they want.....but letting it set in a barn?? At least Jay Leno has fun driving his collection, and making vids.....

They do it for the investment potential Gene. Let's say for example your deal is Steely Dans. You know, steam powered dildos. You get an idea that these things might be worth a few buxs some day so you purchase a few extra when you're at Sex World. Then, you park them in the barn, toss a sheet over them and wait 30 years for the price to skyrocket.

Then you unexpectedly kick off and someone come's in the barn, throws back the sheet and

BOOM! Instant millionaire!!

My vette, while well driven, has set for around 7 years now. I'm not happy about it, but things in my life have stopped me from reviving it and I'd hate to let it go, even though I should.
