I haven't been in the market for a while either. Ironically my largest current "investment" (a 2005 Lotus Elise) has doubled in value since I bought it 6 years ago despite adding a bunch of miles to it as it's my daily driver lol. Not what one generally expects when buying a used car - but I'm pretty good at telling which ones will go up in value.
