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.

Lol an iroc Camaro will never be "classic" or expensive, it's trash. [spoiler]but I get what you're saying[/spoiler] The reason certain cars are expensive is heritage, uniqueness, rarity, performance. You have to pay to play, and for the most part it's justified. I feel your pain as a car enthusiast there are many cars I'll never own because of the $. In all honesty there are a lot of new cars being made that I think are instant classics, and if you buy one, maybe one day you'll have a highly sought after classic car.
