Lessons Learned from a Classic Car: My Dad’s 69 Camaro Convertible

My dad bought a 69 Camaro convertible when I was, like, in 10th grade. It was maybe 25 grand. He paid for it. I took it to prom my junior year. Senior year, we drove it around, had a great time with it. He had fun with it. And then when I went to college, he sold it for, like, 25 or 30 grand. And it taught me that lesson that, like, he didn’t buy a brand new car that was gonna appreciate. He bought an asset that would most likely go up. We got to enjoy full use out of it for a number of years, and then got to sell it.
