The yellow F1 is up for sale for an undisclosed amount (price on application), but we know McLaren F1s typically change hands for more than $10 million. This particular car may as well set a new record for an F1, given that it's in brand new condition — it still has its factory protection wrapping, mind you.

    I can't say I understand why someone would buy a McLaren F1 and keep it hidden in the garage, but the truth is the decision may pay off financially — big time.

Let's say that in 1998 you bought a brand new Porsche 911 Carrera 4. Let's say you kept it in the garage and drove it lightly - call it 30-50 miles a week, you know, to the grocery store every now and then, and occasional rod runs with your buddies. It's been thirty years, but that time adds up - you've put 50k miles on it. And hey, it's a Porsche - those things take maintenance! A couple sets of tires, a dozen oil changes, little shit, about $750 a year. But now it's time to move on, so you list that fucker on eBay.

You probably spent about $65k on it. You've dropped about $22k keeping it happy. But it'll go for over 110 thousand dollars.

Congratulations. You've just made a thousand dollars a year lightly driving a Porsche.

Prices are bullshit right now.
