I've been lucky to have lusted for vehicles that were priced within my grasp. I can appreciate many new motorcycles and cars for what they are. I enjoy looking at them and I'm sure that I'd enjoy riding or driving them. The same goes for countless classic cars and motorcycles as well. But at the end of the day, I also lusted for both the CB1100 and the S2000. For many, these vehicles just aren't all that special, but I certainly down't view them that way. To me, they are both a joy to ride/drive and to work on as well. I've taken each to events where they were surrounded by plenty of other vehicles with far, far higher values. But I'm not left for wanting at all because when it comes to bot the CB and the S I purchased exactly what I wanted to begin with. I've never felt like I settled in any way with either of them.
Since I currently have no intention of parting with either vehicle, I struggle more with the S2000 appreciating in value. than I do with the CB1100 depreciating in value. As it sits, the S2000 looks like it could be less than a year old and I'd never manage to replace the car with another one just like it for what I paid. Similarly, my CB1100 also still looks like it's practically new. and each passing year means that it would be that much harder to find an exact replacement since I bought the CB new. I know that I'd be better off not worrying about such things. I should simply enjoy these awesome objects for what they are. That just seems to be a bit easier said than done at times for me. There are far worse problems to have.
