Where they are securing a Desmodecici RR and a 1098 R to pallets. They are BOTH being shipped to a guy in Texas. The salesmen then says the guy commutes on his S4RS and rides his Xerox on track days. Apparently this gentleman is no having 4 of the finest Spaghetti Benders any where in the world. I bow down to this level of self indulgence!

I know a few people like that... the most recent doesn't have time to ride his new 1098R - so rather than ride it, he's having it delivered with no fluids in order to put in his living room.

I told him it would be better served there the just the plastics... and to give the motor to me.

I actually know a local millionaire tycoon whose son went to high school with my wife. We were invited over to the "big house" to watch the TN vs GA game on the massive plasma screen that nobody could work. I ventured into the garage to find several rare and sought after vintage porsches, BMW GS, and 999r all with old as jellied gas in the gas tanks. I suppose if you have the time you can't afford it and if you can afford it you don't have time to enjoy it. I will say though said rich guy has a seventy mile an hour jet ski that I got to try one time it was awesome....
