Nice car

Investment

So a real estate investor buys a car for $2.2 million and sells it five months late for $4.1 million.

So now the question is: How does anyone justify $4.1 million to purchase a car?

Exotic cars have been a pretty good investment for many people over the years, especially rare super cars such as this.

Very limited production, pedigree, good looks and performance.

Collectors of these cars are not typically guys who take them to the track or drive them much; usually they sit unused in a secure indoor setting where the owner looks at them appreciatively now and then, much like an owner of a Picasso would view his painting.

Ron Tonkin, may he rest in peace, was the country's first Ferrari dealer and a life-long enthusiast of the marque.

Back when I owned my Ferrari and had the gravitas to mix with the local Ferrari elite I got to tour his private car collection, located in a nondescript warehouse near the east bank of the Willamette river in Portland.

Unlike many uber-wealthy collectors Ron actually drove his cars on occasion.

Here's a video of his collection: Tonkin car collection

Huh?

What, was he on a section of the autobahn that has a speed limit?

I always thought that on designated sections of the autobahn there was no speed limit.
