Not if I can beat it with an $8000 chevelle (or other classic car) that only increases its value as it gets older. You will still have money left over to pay for the gas milage, too. And.....the best part........you can sell it for a higher price AFTER you have had your fun. Not the same for the Acura, I'm afraid.Investing it in a down payment on a house is still smart. They increase in value, but only if you buy smart. Also, no one can steal it plain sight with a tow truck, and a fake tow bill.You're not going to sleep in that car, are ya?
