I think I now understand why so many people buy old crappy cars and restore it.
About a year ago I bought a brand new bicycle, but fearing it was kinda flashy and fearing it might get stolen if I ever left it parked, I also bought an old, beaten bicycle and proceeded to service, paint and modify it a bit. The funny thing is that if any of those got stolen, I would surely be sader about the beater bike (even if it?s worth less then half the new bicycle) because it would be nearly impossible to buy another one and do that again, while the new bicycle is still available in stores.
