Please don't take the "This Thread Is Worthless Without Pictures" literally. You should be happy that people care enough to want to see your car, and using the word "worthless" is part of an internet rite of passage.

As many reasons as there are owners.

I just don't look at my passions for my hobbies as an investment. If they gain in value, great; I just don't ever consider that aspect. You can't take it with you.

I've wanted one since I was about 10. An unfortunate event made it happen.
