I fill my safe with guns that I enjoy fussing with, and investment be damned



Largely, true. Guns are NOT a good investment. I do, however, wish I had been buying 60's corvettes back in the 80's and early 90's for shipment to Europe.


Going the other direction, I belive there was a nice Bugatti Royale, one of nine, that changed hands in the 60's for a couple grand. Moved to NA and now is an eight figure car.
