As said above, cars are generally bad investments (maybe with exception of the ultra high end collectibles) . Ending up with a car that you sell for more than you paid for it also doesn't make it a good investment. Figure in gas, insurance, storage, maintenance, repair, registration then compare it to any decent mix in stock/bond funds that should double in value every 10 years with no ownership costs.

I am happy with my weekend car because it hasn't lost a lot of value in the 3 years I have owned it, no repairs and minimal maintenance but figuring in insurance and what I would have had if I put it in a reasonable investment it is still a big loser when it comes to an investment.
