They're all luxury cars, and luxury cars are status symbols. There is no status in owning or driving an old status symbol. It's that simple.
I was attempting to replace rear wheel bearings on my Fiat 124 spider. I got the axle out fine, but while I was trying to set up the press I dropped a heavy die on my finger and split the tip in half. It even split the bone.
