I bought the car to drive: it isn't a garage queen, it is unlikely it will be sold and it certainly isn't an investment.
My kids will inherit it and they can fight over who gets it.
Which is absolutely fine, but of course very many people can't afford to write off a >£70k investment in that way. I treat my car in pretty much the same way, and it doesn't owe me anything, but it's an old nail in comparison to most.
I can easily understand how someone might set their heart on one day owning an exotic car of some description, but need to be able to preserve the value in it so that when they need it they can get back as much as they can.
Only using the car for limited mileages and in good weather only is a good way to do that but still gain enjoyment from the ownership experience.
