The wisdom that comes from 14 extra years. Drive it and enjoy it. Take care of it but not to the point you lose joy. Here is what is going to happen if you don't. You will have a garage queen that you are spending a ton of money on and NOT enjoying. Then one day an 86 year old will rear end your car an total it or diminish phantom "collector" status. Or a quake will hit and a crate will fall on top of it; or, your son will take his bike out of the garage and put a huge scratch on the entire side and hood. Two of these have happened to me and the other will happen one day, so be prudent but enjoy it. This is not an investment, it is not a necessity, it is a treat, a toy, enjoy it as such.

Good luck!
