1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. 2 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 2: Are you passionate about cars? Are you interested in collecting, rebuilding, racing, 3 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 2: or showing them? Have you ever considered having more cars 4 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 2: than you could reasonably drive in a given week or month? 5 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 2: Classic cars have been appreciating rapidly, and if my emails 6 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 2: or anything to go by, quite a few of you 7 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 2: have caught the fever. If you've ever wondered what it's 8 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 2: like to build and own a car collection, well then 9 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 2: I have the perfect guest for you. Hannah Elliott is 10 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 2: the supercar reviewer for Bloomberg. She's been covering cars, the 11 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 2: auto industry, and exploring car culture for over fifteen years. 12 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: She also drives in nineteen seventy five Rolls Royce Silver Shadow. 13 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 2: So Hannah, let's start broadly. How does a person who's 14 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 2: passionate about cars find themselves with a collection. Is this 15 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 2: an ill advised idea? 16 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 3: That's a great question. I think the quick answer is no, 17 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 3: it's not an ill advised idea. If you like cars 18 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 3: and you want to have joy in your life, buy 19 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 3: an old car, buy a vintage car. It's fun. Now. 20 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 3: If you are hoping to that this is going to 21 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 3: bring you a lot of money along time down the road. 22 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 3: Probably not the best investment class, but there are a 23 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 3: lot of other values that you get from owning old 24 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 3: cars that aren't just about the money. 25 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 2: So, since you brought up the money, what separates a 26 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 2: passion project from an asset class for the average car 27 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 2: guy or car gal? Is this a hobby or is 28 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 2: this an investment? 29 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,919 Speaker 3: For the average person, this is a hobby for sure. 30 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 3: There are a lot of expenses associated with owning old 31 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 3: cars on top of the initial purchase price that you know. 32 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 3: Of course, you've got to think about storage, You've got 33 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 3: to think about insurance, you've got to think about maintenance, repairs, gas. Obviously, 34 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 3: there are lots of things that are going to come up. 35 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 3: I think it's important to think of it as a relationship. 36 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 3: This is a give and take thing. There may be 37 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 3: a little bit of dysfunction. It's not just going to 38 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 3: be you know, right off into the sunset and you 39 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 3: pay upfront and you never pay again. For most people, yes, 40 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 3: it's a hobby. It costs money, but you have a 41 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 3: lot of fun. 42 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: So where does one begin. Do you go with the 43 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 2: models that excite you, or do you try and pick 44 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: those cars that are going to appreciate over time. 45 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 3: For somebody just getting involved in owning old cars, I 46 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 3: would really strongly recommend you buy things that you genuinely like. 47 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 3: Buy things that genuinely excite you. Sometimes, if you're really lucky, 48 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 3: maybe those things will retain their value. Maybe they will 49 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 3: even gain value over years if you hold something for 50 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 3: a long time. But here's the thing. If you buy 51 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 3: something that you really like, even if it loses a 52 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 3: bit of value over the years, you still get the 53 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 3: value of owning something that you genuinely like. Whereas if 54 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 3: you buy something simply because you think it might gain value, 55 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 3: if it loses value, you're kind of out because you 56 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 3: didn't necessarily like it and you didn't make a lot 57 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 3: of money on it, So it's kind of a lose lose. 58 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 3: At least, if you buy something you like, you know 59 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 3: you will enjoy it, and if you make a little 60 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 3: money on top to even better. 61 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 2: Let's talk budgets. What do you need to become a 62 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 2: hobbyist and what are some of the costs that you 63 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 2: should budget going forward. 64 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 3: Okay, I would like to say there is a vintage 65 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 3: car for every price point. You can buy an old 66 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 3: Porsche now I'm not going to say an air cooled 67 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 3: nine to eleven. But you can buy an old Porsche 68 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 3: from a swap meet in Pomona, California for eight grand 69 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 3: ten grand. It's gonna need some work, but you know, 70 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 3: I buy old rolls choices. I have bought them for 71 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 3: ten grand. Now that maintenance costs a little bit more 72 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 3: on that, and we can talk about that, but I 73 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 3: just want to illustrate there is an entry price point 74 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 3: for every budget, of course, and I would say I 75 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 3: don't think there's necessarily a correlation between spending a lot 76 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 3: of money and having a lot more fun on a 77 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 3: car that's perfect, and spending less money and you're gonna 78 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 3: have less fun and the car's gonna need a lot 79 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 3: of work. There's not necessarily a correlation. You can spend 80 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 3: a lot of money on something and it's not great 81 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 3: to drive and it requires a lot more maintenance. Obviously, 82 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 3: registering a car is a one time thing. Insuring a car, 83 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 3: there are many vintage cars insurers like Haggerty for instance, 84 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 3: that have pretty great insurance policies, and you can even 85 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 3: get less expensive insurance policies on classics if you don't 86 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 3: because you don't drive them as much because they're not 87 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 3: daily drivers. So it's worth going with a insurance provider 88 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 3: that specializes in classic cars that will charge you less. 89 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 2: When people used to ask me for suggestions for a 90 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 2: fun car to start with, I used to say, hey, 91 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 2: check out the Honda S two thousand convertible stick shift, 92 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: ton of fun. But those have been appreciating, So now 93 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 2: the answer I give people is find a well sorted 94 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: out Mazda Miyada, also with a convertible, a stick shift. 95 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: So much fun for so little money, and you could 96 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 2: go from there if you want. 97 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 3: You know what, As you said, Mazda Miyada, I was 98 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 3: typing Mazda Miata, so we are completely tracking. You're so right. 99 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 3: It's it's such a fun car. Parts are readily available. 100 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 3: It's very predictable. You know, it's not gonna need a 101 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 3: lot of maintenance. You can get a manual and I'm 102 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 3: looking right now on Haggardy's price values. You can get 103 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 3: one and driving condition for eighty one hundred dollars. 104 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 2: That's amazing. You get a nice one for ten twelve 105 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 2: thousand dollars. They're very reliable, they're very tossible. It's just 106 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 2: a beautifully balanced car. And they have some history. That's 107 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 2: the car that sort of brought back the resurgence in convertibles. 108 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 2: So the other question I wanted to ask is how 109 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 2: important is it to have a theme or a focus 110 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 2: for your interest or collection. And I ask that knowing 111 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 2: your husband specifically collects air cooled nine to elevens from 112 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 2: the sixties and seventies. Some people have a broad assortment, 113 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,799 Speaker 2: like Jay Leno, But for the average person thinking about 114 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 2: adding a car or two, where. 115 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 3: Do they go? You know, it's nice to have a 116 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 3: theme or a focus because it creates efficiencies. For instance, 117 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 3: if you have a great mechanic who works on your Mercedes, 118 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 3: he'll be able to take on more Mercedes vehicles, Whereas 119 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 3: if you bring him something else a Miata, for instance, 120 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 3: there may not be as much of It's kind of 121 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 3: nice to have a specialist. You know, I've also got 122 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 3: a seventy seven C three Corvette. You know that car 123 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 3: goes to one guy, The rolls Royces go to another guy, 124 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 3: the Porsches go to another guy. So when you do 125 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 3: have a theme, it creates more efficiencies. You can send 126 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 3: them all to the same person to work on him. 127 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 3: You can swap parts. That's also a nice efficiency. Also, 128 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 3: you can get involved more deeply in the local culture 129 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 3: of whatever that make is, which is really fun because 130 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 3: when you start talking to other people who own similar makes, 131 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 3: or even if you're just going to say all British 132 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 3: cars or all you know Alfa Romeos for instance, you 133 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 3: kind of it's fun to get involved in a culture 134 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 3: that focuses on that thing. You talk to old timers 135 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 3: who have a wealth of knowledge who can give you tips, 136 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 3: You start to learn who the trusted mechanics are. It 137 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 3: just makes it easier. So I do really like the 138 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 3: idea of having a particular theme to it. 139 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 2: So you men earlier the local car community or the 140 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 2: enthusiast community. How important is it to get involved with 141 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 2: your local bing MW or mead or Porsche club in 142 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: your neighborhood. 143 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 3: It's important. I think it's a nice value added thing 144 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 3: to get involved with other like minded enthusiasts in your 145 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 3: era I think area. I think you know that is 146 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 3: some of those clubs can be really picky, of course, 147 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 3: I'm thinking of Rolls Royce people. 148 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 2: You know. 149 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 3: I sort of deliberately avoid some of the Rolls Royce 150 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 3: clubs in Los Angeles because those guys are They know 151 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 3: their stuff, which is great and not great. They I 152 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 3: don't drive mint conditioned cars, so you know, they certainly 153 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 3: are friendly. But they also can tell me everything that's 154 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 3: wrong with the car. So you know, I tried. It's useful, 155 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 3: it's useful. The broader answer is yes, of course, get involved. 156 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 3: The more people you have around you, Hey, at some 157 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 3: point you're going to break down, you need to phone 158 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 3: a friend, and triple A is great, but you know, 159 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 3: you just want people around you who are a network, 160 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 3: a support network. They'll lead you to again, the right mechanic, 161 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 3: the right place to find a part. Maybe you end 162 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 3: up getting a second car, and the same theme. They're 163 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 3: gonna they're going to know who wants to trade, who 164 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 3: wants who can you know, lead you down a path 165 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 3: deeper down the rabbit hole of whatever your drug of 166 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 3: choice is. 167 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 2: And you mentioned garages, but there are other options for 168 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 2: storing a car. It's not just your own garage. What 169 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 2: are some of the other storage car clubs. 170 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 3: Car clubs can be a little bit expensive, but again 171 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 3: it's an investment in the hobby. There are many car clubs. 172 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 3: I just know Manhattan and LA because that's where I live. 173 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 3: But there are some great car clubs, of course, across 174 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 3: the south. In Arizona. Car clubs are great because again 175 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 3: you pay a price per month for them to store 176 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 3: your car. Often they will also maintain the car for 177 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 3: you in house, which is a great benefit. And again 178 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 3: you get exposed to similar people, like minded enthusiasts who 179 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 3: are keeping their cars there. It's all, at the end 180 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 3: of the day, about building this community of people, friends, 181 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 3: colleagues who enjoy what you enjoy. 182 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 2: So you mentioned Haggarty and you mentioned bring a trailer. 183 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 2: What other resources should potential car collectors know about. 184 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 3: The third one that comes to mind is K five hundred, 185 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 3: which is an index that Simon Kitson runs out of England. 186 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 3: Very good on really high end. Now this is like 187 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 3: an advanced move K five hundred. You need a membership 188 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 3: to subscribe, but again they have amazing data on values, trends, history, 189 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 3: They will have specific pedigrees and lineages of particular cars. 190 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 3: This is for the really high end stuff. But I 191 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 3: also look at K five hundred just as educational. They've 192 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 3: got they cover all of the auctions, they've got analysis, 193 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 3: they've got experts. Steve Wakefield is Simon Kitson's sort of 194 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 3: top analyst. Those guys are really great. They're out of England. 195 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 3: I recommend it ever. 196 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 2: Play with auto Tempest as a web sole now. So 197 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 2: it's just a giant relational database that lets you search 198 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 2: for any year or group of years for any marquee 199 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 2: and specific car and specific variants, and then you can 200 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 2: refine that search for all. Right, show me just the convertibles. 201 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 2: I want to see, just the cars with the sticks. 202 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 2: Just show me this color and it really allows you 203 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 2: to hone in and it pulls in stuff from tons 204 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 2: and tons of other celles Auto Tempests auto Tempests. So 205 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 2: last question, let's talk about documentation. How important is it 206 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 2: to make sure that you're not only getting clear title, 207 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 2: but seeing the service history of any vehicle you're thinking 208 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 2: about purchasing. 209 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 3: I think it's important. Obviously, you want to make sure 210 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 3: you see the title with the seller's name on the title. 211 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 3: For some older cars and race cars, a bill of 212 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 3: sale is also used. Some cars don't have titles if 213 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 3: they're really old, so a bill of sale is used. 214 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 3: If you're buying a car from Europe, that can be 215 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 3: pretty complex to confirm. To transfer a bill of sale 216 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 3: into like an American style title, so you might want 217 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 3: to consult a professional about that. The more maintenance records 218 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 3: the better. Obviously, the longer ownership span that a car 219 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 3: has by a single owner generally the better. You don't 220 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 3: want a car that's been flipped, you know, every two years, 221 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 3: because generally that car there's a reason it's being flipped 222 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 3: and it may not have been maintained so lovingly as 223 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 3: someone who owned their special baby for twenty years. So 224 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 3: the more records you can have, the better. 225 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 2: So to wrap up, there's a lot of common sense 226 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 2: involved in this. You don't need a ton of money. 227 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,719 Speaker 2: You could start with just something very basic like a 228 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 2: Miata or an old sl but find the cars you 229 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 2: really like, do your homework, get to know your local 230 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 2: enthusiast club or that particular BMW or Porsche club, and 231 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 2: learn from the experts how to make a good decision 232 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 2: with a car that will bring you pleasure and maybe 233 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 2: a little money for as long as you own it. 234 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 2: I'm Barry Ridolts.
