Consider this : If you invested $300 in the S&P 500 at the beginning of 1980, you would have about $48,856.17 at the end of 2025, assuming you reinvested all dividends. This is a return on investment of 16,285.39%, or 11.88% per year. This is for 45 years, not 35, but you get the idea.

Cars and parts are not investment vehicles.
