Pretty cool. :thumb:
Sorta a side thought... I don't really understand how things like this come to be. I'm talking in general about old things being kept undriven for decades. Who decides to buy something and keep it as new and not drive it but plan on keeping it for years and years just to have? Do people really do it in hopes of it's value going up 20+ years later or just happens or just frugal or what? Just never understood. this.
And since people did it with things that are now 30 years old or whatever, I wonder if they're doing it now with vehicles today? I meant, in 2050 are we going to see someone post up about a 2011 Camry or Harley or GMC 2500HD dmax denali or was this an era-specific way of thinking that lead to these kinds of old relics (i.e. depression, etc.)??
Just curious as I've never really understood buying something new just to "collect" it. It has likely paid off for a few folks over the years though I suppose if you don't count opportunity costs into it which isn't realistic but oh well. I'm just rambling on now so I'll stop.
I have had a few things that were collectable; my '69 510 and my 82 GPZ 550 were my favorites, but I did use them some. It's a form of art that just happens to have been built to serve a purpose. I got as much enjoyment out of looking at them as driving them. The art overcomes the purpose sometimes. I have a hunch that purpose may win with Simon on this one though :woott: Ride that fricken thing! :thumb:
