“I think the world has been predicting the demise of certain parts of the automobile industry for years. And we saw it very recently with this almost like holy war people view the difference between EVs and internal combustion cars. I would just continue playing the big long game and don't worry about some of the little petty arguments that people can have that, you know, it makes for good maybe cocktail party talk, but I'd like to see the big picture.”

“I think I've just been to two different commencement ceremonies. One was my daughter's and another was some friends. And all of the commencement speakers right now are so focused on AI and trying to tell them it's going to be okay. And not only do I think it's going to be okay, as I always remind them and people of my own career, which is I work, my core business is what some people would call as a relatively boring industry, insurance. No, you got to go into cool other stuff, not go into some of those things. I think there are so many opportunities in these industries that are established, they are stable, they need really smart people who want to work hard and remake what they are, is don't overlook things that you consider boring today. You know, look at some of those and think, who are the types of people that are going into these that you can make a great career? I never imagined I'd be doing what I am today. And I think I have the coolest job you can do.”

“What's keeping you? Yeah, so I mean, my workout companion is a lot of podcasts, and they've kind of shifted, I guess, a little bit. So while I was, you know, during COVID, it was a lot of just sort of habits and mindset stuff and this sort of thing. And then when I discovered people like Scott Galloway, his very humorous way, think about business, Tyler Cowan, I think, is just absolutely brilliant. So great podcast there. I've also been impressed with That Audible has a number of their own kind of, again, back to the musical biography thing, save a lot of these short format kind of podcasts, kind of other kind of quasi-musical performances that are both kind of spoken word and music. And it's actually called a Words and Music series, and that's been really fun to listen to some of those.”

“They all kind of subscribe to some of the same magazines and they get together for these little get togethers, and they were all kind of envisioning a future together. And a lot of same themes, and especially right now around the challenges with AI are all embedded behind the foundation series and even in Dune. That people, if you kind of have to read into it, but it's fascinating stuff”

“Biographies so far this year on George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, there were a bunch of other books around kind of a lot of the founding fathers. I'm also wading through Wealth of Nations again, first time since college, because it was also published in 1776. I'd forgotten that.”

“Everything from the Keith Richards to slash to you name it. I mean, I read a lot of biographies of, you know, Springsteen, anybody. Then I did an interesting kind of parallel set, which was music producers. And that was fun. So everything from the, there's a famous book on Warner Brothers music that was about called Sonic Boom, which was all of the music producers that did that to Clive Davis, to those types of folks. For this year, though, my reading theme is all about the founding of America. So I'm reading a lot of kind of American founding stuff. I've just figured it's a good time to do that.”

“So I'm an avid reader. I read 30 to 50 books a year typically and a lot of biographies in the last four or five years. I was definitely on a Music biography stint, so a lot of rock and roll biographies. And then I went through.”

“Were some teachers kind of early on who were really extraordinary professors that both kind of, I think, triggered my love of learning. One gentleman, his name was Gary Hart, still living. I kind of look after him in his old age. He just fundamentally taught me how to be a good student. But what I found though is my mentors have become more micro mentors now, like less than it's my whole life learning everything about something from this person is now I find somebody who's really good at one thing and I learn from them. I become friends with them. My current lead director on our public company board, Bill Swanson, he was the chairman and CEO of Atheon. A wonderful man, car collector, and just brilliant at board governance and how to think things through. And I'm just learning so much, listening to him. And so he's a real mentor of mine. And so I think I'm very much of that tribe of mentor approach. And I've had many, and I love.”

“My mentors went from kind of macro mentors to micro mentors. And so, you know, in early days, of course, it was my parents. My parents had very different skill sets, and I was so blessed that I got to work with both of them.”

“Well, and the SUV, the Pearl Sangue. Like people said they'll never build an SUV. And I remember I was talking to Bob Letz, and he just said, watch. He said, and I'm like, why do you think they will build an SUV, Bob? And he said, Because they have to.”

“Forever since the day the first one was built until you know it is just there's been something magical about that brand. I love the history of how the fact that like the second Enzo Ferrari back in the day would show up with one like everybody knew well that's the car to beat. Period. And even though sometimes you beat them, sometimes you didn't.”

“I have one vintage car that has super low miles on it. It's a Jaguar E type 1966 that had 13,000 miles on it when I bought it and it has about 15,000 miles on it now. And it's just... It bugs me because I feel like it should be driven. And then I worry that I'm just putting a bunch of miles on it. And so, I don't know. I have the same quandary. So I just like the drive.”

“You got a car, unless it's like six miles on it or 15 miles, and you just think that's what makes it cool when there are a lot of customers that we have that like that, my view is go drive it. We sold at our Amelia sale one of the two record setting for our Enzos. We sold it for $15 million. The car had, I think, $249 miles on it for our Enzo. And everybody's like, what do you think of that? I'm like, I would rather have the 20,000 mile Ferrari Enzo that I could go drive. I mean, just personally myself, and I congratulated the buyer. Wonderful buy, sir. But I would like the...”

“Yeah, the claims are low, but if they're sad cars, and especially, by the way. There's not a single generation of cars that fares well when it sits around for a long period of time. Tires age, belts and hoses age, and some of those 90s and 2000s cars, they age particularly badly when they sit in the garage. Lots of maintenance required. So my view is...”

“You know, 250, 300 for a 67S. And people say, like, what's the car? What's your 911 worth? I'm like, I don't care. It's my baby. And like no one will ever, I and my family will have that car forever.”

“And they're just They are. I love them. But when you look at all the 9 11s that were built that were really undervalued for a long time, you know, you could buy, I mean, people used to give me a hard time because my 67 9-11S.

“The design of the early. Well, then I'd still probably, I mean, again, my bias here, I'd still probably say 9-11, but you're going to pick a year that was maybe slightly. Slightly off year, they're going to hold their value well. I've actually did a kind of market cap comparison between every 9-11 every built versus every Ferrari ever built because people talk about Ferrari GTOs and all this sort of thing, which are worth tens of millions.”

“I'm a Porsche person, so I would say great. You want a 9 11, but let's start you in a boxer. You know, let's start you in whatever, some more entry point there. That younger generation that I talked about, the sort of three-series BMWs. Super fun cars, lots of them built with a lot of quality that kind of have style. They look good. That's where people go.”

“A little bit more horsepower. They made a lot of convertibles, their manuals, their automatics if you don't feel comfortable with that. And very affordable cars and easy to get serviced. So those would be my two recommendations. Of course, the most collected car, though, still in the United States is a corvette.”

“And I always tell people the oldest miata is now 33 years old, something like that. And they made over a million of them for the U.S. market, super reliable. If you want to go track driving, they're the great track cars. If you want to just cruise around a weekend, they're inexpensive, $10,000, $15,000. But same thing with Mustang. So just they're...”

“And coming to cars and coffee with their cars, and that sort of thing. So there's a lot more to it. It's much broader based. And sure, it's fun to see a multimillion dollar whatever sell someplace, but that's just not the average reality. The average is actually much broader based and much more interesting.”

“Yeah, well, I think those big headline cars are, they attract so much attention and people just think it's this, you know, crazy, very high-end market, very, very rare. You know, the big story is that there's just a much, much wider opportunity for people who want to play in this space. Every single price point, every little bit of reliability and everything from pickup trucks, like I said, if you live in that part of the world and that's something that's interesting to you, it's a very broad-based hobby. It's also, this was a hobby that for many, many years was very much male-oriented, male driven, and I can see that in the data of who our insurance are and everything else, there's a really rising cohort of young women and women who want to have these cars and have it be part of their lives too. I think that's probably one of the most exciting trends. So very broad based.”

“Same thing right now in this sort of like say supercar segment where a lot of these cars from the 90s and 2000s are we see these values going up it is the new you know kind of newer money newer collector but it's an older generation of collectors saying I don't want to be left without a cool car or in fact one guy told me recently who bought a Bugatti Veyron and a couple of newer cars said well I want to have a car that my grandkids thinks is cool And so I'm like, got it.”

“I think so, and I think it's a combination of what's driving demand. One is there's absolutely a new cohort of people getting in, making a little bit of money buying these things. At the top end of the market, though, it's not just, oh, the new young tech guy who's going to be in the open AI IPO and is going to make money and go buy a car. Older generation collectors are also buying a lot of these new cars at auction. And it's interesting. I've seen this twice in my career. In the big muscle car era, which was 2005, 67, right before the great financial crisis, everybody said, oh, it's a new generation of people buying all these muscle cars and paying American muscle cars and paying a lot of money for it. And that was true. There were. But it was also the older generation of collectors who liked earlier cars saying like, well, maybe those are cool and I want one too. And by the way, I have more money than you, so I'm going to outbid you at auction and it's mine.”

“Again, we're seeing this certainly the entry points are different than they were a generation ago where people are interested in sporty cars, trucks, younger kind of young timer cars as they refer to them in Europe. And we're seeing the data. We want to position ourselves well to see that the transfers are kind of smooth, where you're kind of helping the next generation get into these cars. We're actually doing things like teaching manual driving classes because if you talk about it, it's not just an anti-theft device or some slow hobby like brewing beer or whatever it is. We need to teach the next generation how to drive manuals. And it's, you know, it's not that hard to do.”

“Well, and I think we've all read that there's this huge, you know, gigantic wealth transfer, whatever the headline number is. 65 trillion. I've heard 100 trillion, 70. And our estimate just on that number of 13 million vehicles, 12, 13 million vehicles is about 570 billion dollars worth of car value. Right now, most of those are held in the hands of a generation of baby boomers. I'm an older Gen Xerxers are starting to come into their peak wealth earnings in the peak wealth years buying a lot of cars. But 15 years from now, about a third of that whole market will come loose back.”

“Time for these kind of cars, but you know, even afterwards, I think, you know, people were embracing slower hobbies, slower things, you know, playing music, camping, hiking, outdoor pursuits. And in some of these things, kind of fit into that a little bit, which is something to just go out and take a long, slow Sunday afternoon drive is not something that the rush rush world of what mileage does it get and what's the lease payment on it you know it's it's just a it comes from a different place and there's a bigger audience than people think who are willing to spend real money on it”

“Yeah, I mean, I think, and they are, and by the way, the one nice thing about the PDK, if you drive them in the winter, like I happen to love driving Porsches in the winter, PDK is pretty nice in the snow for what it's worth. But setting that aside is I'm just totally impressed that many of these car companies are kind of going back on what they said they were going to be doing and starting to not reintroduce manuals, but they're producing another extra model with the manual in it. At a bit.”

“Of supercar manufacturers are making more cars than ever, ever before. And so you think of those brands like Ferrari or Lamborghini or Bentley or even Porsche. My beloved 9-11S, those companies are just building a lot more cars and pumping them out into the market at price points that were different than they used to. We're building hundreds of cars a year. Well, now Ferrari is a 14,000 unit a year manufacturer. Lamborghini, when you add their SUV in, it's an eight or nine thousand vehicle manufacturer. I mean, when I was a kid, you never saw Lamborghini unless you just happened to be in Beverly Hills or Palm Beach or something. And now they're everywhere. I mean, even in my little town in northern Michigan, there are a couple Lamborghinis driving around. I'm like, oh my goodness, you know, that's amazing. What's crazy?”

“On it a Land Rover or International Scouts. These are the cars that people are interested in because so many cars today are SUVs anyway. And so the vintage version of them are one of these kind of more off-road vehicles. And there's a big industry of modifying them, making them work a little bit better. And so that's another big trend. So again, next generation trucks, I guess I would say flying over the top of the whole industry, which, you know, at the top, top end of the market. And just to add on to the answer to your question is, the ultra-luxury.”

“I think that's right. They did. And they're different. And one of my little cottage industry things that I do is if I'm ever driving anywhere near a high school parking lot, I look to see where the young car people park their cars. And they usually park them in the back of the parking lot, not up near the school, and they all park next to each other. So then go hang out afterwards. And what you're going to see right now of a but with the 17 and 18 year olds car people in these high schools is you're going to see BMWs, you're going to see Audis, you're going to see some various performance Japanese cars. You're not going to see anything fancy. They can't afford them. But that's the cars they're starting with. Trucks are, of course, another big entry point, and it's another huge trend. So not just pickup trucks, but kind of vintage SUVs. So Jeeps are still right now one of the hottest brands. It's huge. Of course, Broncos are one of the hottest things. Of course, if they could afford them, you know, depending on the...”

They've gone just in joy driving a car for pleasure. And I also tell one, you know, the first thing I tell people who's sort of new to the space, like, well, I want to take it out to dinner. And I'm like, make sure you take it out during the day first a few times because sometimes cars leave you in the restaurant parking lot at night. So people I was asked, why don't you drive them? And I'm like, because I'm not sure I'm going to get home.”

“Manually rolled out Lap belts No. Yeah, and they're, you know, look, different eras of cars come with their own challenges sometimes. You know, I think as we're seeing this onslaught of new generations coming in and wanting to buy slightly newer cars, I mean, it's 60 whatever percent of all of our new quotes and new cars coming into the space are all relatively newer cars. 1980s, 90s, 2000s cars. Some of those cars, for example, it may not be a mechanical issue that can drive you a little crazy. It's an electrical issue that will drive you a little crazy. If you think of some of the screens and the CD players and all the little control things that back in 1990, whatever, was the biggest whiz bang feature. Well, it doesn't work so well anymore. The car runs fine, but you're not going to be able to use the antiquated nav system. I just tell people, like, you know, relax, it's fine. Enjoy the car, drive it.”

“Yeah, I think there's so many people that they envision someday when they have that little bit of extra resources, you know, that's going to be my toy. I want to get into the car world. And if they weren't 100% in this their whole life, or their parents weren't into it or you didn't have an uncle or somebody in your life who let you drive in these things, I often recommend people try to get a chance to drive what you think you want because the older cars do drive very differently. And even if you think of, say, muscle cars from the 60s, they were very fast. I mean, these are cars that are in a straight line. And a straight line, a lot of power. They do not stop or turn as well as you think. And you just have to get used to that. I mean, I love cars of all generations. I love driving very early cars. I have some newer cars. And I always just have to kind of center myself when I get behind the wheel to remember like, okay, this is not.”

“Bit bigger triple cockpit kind of style boats for those who are really into the artisanal cheese of the boat world. I love the Canadian brands. Well, there was a whole group of really fine boat builders up there, Manette Shield, Barnes, Gravette, brands that most Americans would not know of. But if you ever get a chance to go up to like the Muskoka Lakes, which is just north of Toronto, it's they're just exquisite, like beautifully built boats. They're like considered national treasures up there, so you don't see many of them in the US. But that was part of my upbringing. When we were, my mom and dad were building the boat business, and I was a teenager, it was like, oh, we're going to a boat show, going to Canada, going to Lake Tahoe, going to the Finger Lakes of New York.”
