I don't get it.
You're right, TD, but the real reason for wanting an e21/e30/911SC etc aren't for preserving the new ones. I think these are just excuses for oneself or for one's superior half to justify owning cute, charming oldies. Hell, I'd love to have one if I weren't in NYC and could keep more than one car.
