Buying almost any vehicle as an investment can be disappointing. Even very collectable cars like the Chevrolet Corvette and Plymouth Superbird […] | | | | | "Mom! Mom! Mom!" I jabbed at the phone in my hand, trying to will myself (and my family) into the apex of modern technology. "Hello? Can you hear me?" "Maaaaaaaaaaaam!" "Hold on ….
