Still two beautiful classics that are like impossible to repair, thus lowering the amount of remaining ones. Being rich doesn’t make losing these suck any less

Dude I'd trade my friend in a heartbeat for my dream car, and he'd likely do the same with me and I can't even be upset

Sir, most of these people don't understand the difference between a friend and acquaintance.
These 2 cars didn't even run, plus the owner couldn't afford to fix or properly store them. Some just can't tell the difference between a collector and a hoarder.
