Reply to "Which Pantera model from "investment" point of view?"

Jesper,

Welcome to the USA, home of the American Dream! Sadly, I believe you've been reading way too many Money Magazine articles about making money on your investments.

In the car community, the dominant economic research points to an alternative approach known as "Loss on Investment," sometimes called "LOI." It works in much the same way as "ROI" but the rewards are different.

In the near term, the best LOI would be achieved by buying someone else's excellent restoration for pennies on the dollar. In the very long run, a stock GT5 will probably provide the best LOI, followed by any other stock car.

However, that is not nearly as much fun as a restomodded car where the LOI goes up in direct relationship to the fun factor. I believe most of us would go that route. The "reward" we experience is that silly looking grin we all get when we take our cars out for a ride. This grin is in no way to be confused with the smug grin that you see on satisfied Ferrari owners. For all their wealth and education, the Ferrari owners do not understand LOI like we do.

Pick your poison!
