That the classic car market is so ridiculously expensive to get into. Yes certain cars are cheaper and there are still affordable ways into this hobby but it's getting harder and harder every day to get into certain generations of various vehicles. Auctions like Barrett Jackson show this. What's even sadder to me is that these cars are restored beautifully and never driven except to shows(maybe). They're never truly enjoyed like they should be. They're are many enthusiasts out there I'm sure who want these cars and would enjoy them. Sadly prices will continue to rise and things like an Iroc Camaro may one day be a 60k car.

Living in the country I've noticed that there are alot of older cars just sitting out in fields or under awnings. All need work though. And all of these shows (gas monkey) are just driving the price up The same is happening with collecting guns. You have to search out the good deals otherwise you're looking at paying thousands for a collectable gun
