Well, it's not so much the value I'm concerned about, it's about seeing tons of them. Remember how cool it was to see an old restored pedal car? It was cool because there were so few of them still around. Today however, you can get a POS Chinese copy for a couple hundred bucks so the market is flooded with them.
K-nuts mentioned Camaros, and it's a perfect example. I hate those cars because they are like belly buttons, everyone has one.
I attend SEMA for my business, so I can see where the hobby is heading. All you see there are Camaros, Mustangs and Broncos. Gets boring after a while. This goes for major shows also. Syracuse Nats a couple years ago had 8500 cars, and of those, only 3 Blazers. I don't want to see 100 of them!!
Oh, and I absolutely hate anything related to China which doesn't help.
I always thought Americans were so patriotic? What happened?
