Today's Room For Debate opinion pieces focus on collecting. One of the seven authors has 30 cars in his collection. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I thought folks here might appreciate it... Why We Collect Stuff.

I collect a lot of things. Car books (spent a few thousand last year, expect to do the same this year...), Vintage and rare racing memorabilia, Hot wheels, 1:43 diecast Porsches, and Tamiya 1:24 scale model kits.
Why do I collect them? Couldn't tell ya. I could probably have a couple nice P-cars with my various collections liquidated. I like my stuff, though. |

I've kept those I didn't blow up with firecrackers (yes, sometimes I did blow shit up just like that Rocket City Rednecks show I bitched about- but it has been awhile). Some are allegedly are worth pretty much, but its not like I can take 'em down to the bank and they become money. I few are not too beat up even. Apparently the really stupid ones that I trashed long ago are the "rarest". Most of the car parts I collect eventually find a use, some even for cars... |
