People who make stupid statements like this usually dont own these cars!. I have two children ages 7 and 8 and the cost of college isnt getting any cheaper, so I look at my car as a fall back to their 529 plans. I get to keep the car as it goes up in value, does that make me a sissy? Would I love to drive the car every day, sure, is that possible at this time, no. Keep making stupid statements as my car goes up in value, who will be laughing ten years from now!

You're entitled to your opinion and if you view your GNX as a college tuition back-up plan that's your perogative. Water seeks it's own level and if the market for this particular car continues to climb, it very well may be a good investment but it's far from the safest bet and history tells us it has more of a chance of tanking first or leveling off before skyrocketing further in the next 10 years.

Do I think you're a "sissy"? Well, yea. No offense but that's how I feel. Should you take it personally or care what some random non-GNX owner on the internet thinks? No. I buy cars to enjoy and drive. Regardless if it's a $10k car or a $50k car. If I had one I would drive it. If I thought it was too "valuable" to drive and would relegate it to "investment" status. I'd sell and invest in something safer.......like real estate. Definately not a car though.

In closing, it's your car. Do what you want. Personally I would drive the **** out of it. I think it's a shame.
