That brand new Audi S5, Lotus Exige S or Corvette Z06 you’re dying to own may seem a little expensive now but one day those very cars could be collector items that you could auction off for a couple of hundred thousand dollars at the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale. Hagerty Insurance, an insurance company that specializes in protecting collector cars, has created a list of 10 new cars for sale in 2008 that it believes have the greatest potential to be collector items in 15-20 years.
And according to their list, even the frugal consumer can one day auction off his/her car for a couple of hundred thousand dollars – well, if you’re willing to wait 15-20 years. Prices of the cars on the list range from $12,000 to more than $70,000, while horsepower ranges from 70 to more than 500.

i agree.
But for that much money it better be.
I know of the all the stories. My mechanic did his home garage with the DIY kit from Lowes. Even came with a 1 yr warranty. It peeled after a few months from a hot tire. He eventually got his warranty but they made him jump through hoops to do so.
Im slightly confident in griots products. I was going to giev them a call and see what they say about adding flakes to their product.

Well griots always have excellent products.
But as for the other retailers. I just cant justify spending up to $3000 for a bucket of paint.
I think $400 is bad enough.

I'll work on that for you. I will that its own thread.
As of now. Im pondering buying the Griots garage floor paint. Total cost of the paint will be $300.
White paint.
Then buying Tan and Black metallic flakes to throw around.
How do you guys think that will look?

BBS wheels are very nice. If you like their style. They are also very strong and very light.
As for light wheels.
They should MAKE a huge difference.
You cant do tests with two different cars. It just wont work.
On my first lexus. I had some heavy ass 19" chrome AXIS wheels put on it. Riding with those and then going back to the 16" winter wheels. The car was night and day. Acceleration was tremendously different and braking too.
Saving any UNSPRUNG weight is Very benificial
