Very happy to even make out a dollar in the end of my enjoyment. No one was buying cars thinking it would beat the market or real estate. We bought cars to enjoy them. Only recently we've seen some crazy returns going on, but that is NOT normal. Covid was one wild period and then we have this AI era going on. Just a lot of money out there right now.
There was probably a handful of cars you could have bought thinking about a return in one to two decades. That also wouldn't be any fun though if that is your only goal.
