Yet that's a big pre-requisite to becoming a classic. The baby boomers blew out '60s muscle cars when they had the equity to do so. I think all the '90s Japanese sports cars will appreciate even more in the future. Beyond that, I'm not really sure. There are generational shifts that could curtail the values of millennial classics, since millennials don't seem to drool over cars like the rest of us. But I would keep an eye on the sti, BRZ/FRS & S2000 in 30-40 years.aquabliss said:I clearly left my NSX community membership card at the door. Not much into fancy cars these days I guess. Still sounds weird to imagine a car I drooled over as a teen is now a classic. Guess I'm getting old.

He's a Prin*cip*al S*oftw*are Eng*in*eer. (<--Trying to make this not Googleable.) Fairly quiet, reserved, enjoys working solo in a dark office, not exactly a social butterfly. A typical computer nerd, I would say. I'm not trying to knock this personality type, btw. I know there are probably plenty of other guys like this on TI.He's actually Mr. SoCal's BFF, met back in high school, grew up together, and now, over 30 years later, they work together at the same company, do the same thing, same team, similar personalities.
We are sad for him. Sometimes I think we're biased because he's the friend and she's just the "wife of the friend". But I have to remember -- like the other comment here said earlier -- he chose this life. Or should I say she chose it and he went along with it? She the one who pursued him. I met them 100 years ago when I met Mr. SoCal. I always felt she came off bossy & high-maintenance even way back then.

This is not that abnormal. I have seen it numerous times where the home life (and finances) are completely run by the wife. This includes all the decision making that goes with purchases. One of the poor guys even had a small weekly allowance and that was his only discretionary money. They kind of just accept it and embrace the lack of responsibilities that come with it.

Is this one of those "I have a friend" things where it's really them trying to pretend it's not them.
SoCal: Let your husband buy a Civic!!!

My friend wants to get a plug-in hybrid SUV and is trying to decide between the BMW X5 and the MBZ GLE. I don't really know much about either other than MBZ has expensive service visits (even just for oil). Does BMW still include first 2 years of maintenance?
If you were a guy, which one would you get and why? I think most here drive Bimmers but not the SUV. I just told him to check out Edmunds.![]()
