I bought a 914 73 2L last week, absolutely blessed. 41 year owned, pure beauty, can't believe it. Don't really care if it goes up in value - never selling. Unless a young lad wants it as much as I did in 41 years, then I'll let it go for a bargain - the previous owner loved it, and I wanna preserve that :D
I gave up on that dream when I was younger. Got a 72’ El Camino instead. Put $6k into suspension/Borla Exhaust MOST FUN I ever had in a car! Sometimes losing is WINNING😃

I've had 2 C5's but have driven a C4. Knowing a lot about Corvettes, you're not missing much other than the 80's nostalgia. The C5 is a VASTLY superior car in literally every way.
First gen f150 king ranch is at rock bottom. Avoid lariat and xlts unless they are supercrews. Also don't sleep on dakota/Durango RTs. The key is to find low miles and clean conditions. Chevy cobalt SS is another rock bottom proce sports car.
997…..too late!! It’s already blown up. And actually, 1sr Gen 997s are way more abundant than second gen. The recession of 2008 saw a drop in product because of a drop in sales. So the 2009-2012s are the ones that are harder to come by, at least in 6-speed form. And when you find one, move fast and be prepared to not a premium. Ask me how I know.

The “nine ninety six” and “nine ninety seven” descriptions of Porsche generations makes me dubious of his advice, whether broadly correct or not. Plus, the 996.2, which is the 996 you have in the video, did NOT share the Boxster’s headlights-It was the 996.1. They changed the shape for the 996.2 (in 2002). Come on man…it’s “nine nine six” and “nine nine seven” if you want to be taken seriously lol-because your list otherwise is broadly accurate!
Also, the GT2RS in this video is not a 997-it’s a 992. it goes 997.1, 997.2, 991.1, 991.2, 992. This GT2RS came 7(!) years after the last year of the 997
I bought my 29 year old MGB GT in 2004. Next year it will be 50 and for as long as i can get in it, i love it.

KEEP ENGINE BAY DRY.
👉🏽Especially BATTERY TRAY😉
Glad I bought a c4 corvette a year ago . 1990 red on red
Bought a 93 c4 Corvette convertible in mint condition a month ago. It's a performance bargain. Fun to drive and tinker with.
I gave up on that dream when I was younger.
Got a 72’ El Camino instead.

Just so happened today, that I saw an old Ford Thunderbird on a roll back. Appeared to be a good barn find.
Love the C4 Corvettes I never had one I've always had a C5

I personally think E46 M3 is way better investment as well as V10 M5 E60, prices have started to rise. R8 and Vantage prices will skyrocket too
Viper for me!
El Caminos are climbing up there too
I love those old square body Chevy trucks from 1973-1991
M3s e92 for me
Since I can’t afford an Aston Martin, The MG B-GT would be lovely to own. If I had the space. The S2000 and Miata RF are on my short list, though

Toyota century v12 will be worth a fortune soon they are just starting to go up and are already hard to find

Maintenance headaches anyways 🤷🏽♂️
You need to update your information.....it was not Karmann that designed the Porsche 914 it was Heinrich Klie.
Is Porsche 996 worse than 997 ?

I bought 3 914s and crushed them they were so ugly.
S2000 will be a 100k car in 10 years
75 was a Corvette
C4 Corvette? Ok im done watching this

Why in the H€LL is the C4 in this?????????? The C4 is the black eye of the Corvette fight to the top.
The 914 is uglier than the Tesla cyber truck.
Lame list, definitely not my list or what is worth collecting
