Relevant to our hobby or not?

I respectfully disagree.

Relatively speaking IF you actually drive high end foreign sports cars they are WAY more expensive to own long term than to buy. At least in my experience. Parts are silly crazy expensive. My wife totaled her first and only Porsche. I bought it from the insurance company and parted it out for almost twice what we originally paid for it.

The ones I am talking about aren't being driven!

As a long-time owner (40+ years) of 2 classic Thunderbirds, I do not see much relevance between the car and card hobbies.
I've been to numerous vintage shows over the years and there are very distinct differences between personalities (and their
mentalities) of the people involved in these two hobbies.

But, most of all (as we have unfortunately seen) you can "fake" pieces of cardboard. You cannot fake machines, and/or their
operating parts, and expect to get away with it.

Furthermore, Ben is absolutely correct regarding the "break-up" parts value of any high-demand car (vintage or more recent).

On a side note that story on the “Porsche” Type 64 was really interesting.
