The F-Body: Now a collectors item?

Since the so-called demise of the famed F-Body is now upon us, are we all now collectors? Are our F-Bodies now collector items? Your thoughts.

Yes I believe drew is correct!

Some may be collectible...but their are a million other posts on this subject so you could just look at those, most of us have posted our opinions. (I dont mean to be rude, i just dont feel like typing my thoughts on the subject again)
