Except that with time and training, the intrinsic value of a horse can go 
up whereas a car's goes down - a horse that's "new" isn't worth as much as 
one that has won a few races and stayed sound, but a car that's won a few 
races is actually not worth as much as one that hasn't been in a race yet.
