Kind of like they do in Saudi Arabia nowdays. Have you seen some of the websites of exotics that they just park on the side of the road ?

This is just one link.
https://www.carkeys.co.uk/news/the-story-behind-dubais-abandoned-supercars

I saw a Ferrari F40 in one link.

Nice to understand why. Hope someone ends up with them who can take care of them.
I heard, a few years ago, a fellow talking about how older used Ferraris are quite affordable. Not the F-40 maybe lol

WD,

Actually I did pull a few fast ones over on her when she was my boss.

One of the funny ones for you, there used to be a short line Railroad we did a fair amount of business with in Minnesota. Well the owner hit us up for some charitable donations since he had started a drive to collect funds for Christmas baskets in the area where his railroad operated.

The boss wanted to score some brownie points with him so she posted a message to the group stating she would match any and all donations made by her staff. First mistake.....:laughing7::laughing7::laughing7: I jumped in with both feet and responded that I'd donate $200. to get the ball rolling and challenged the rest of the crew to donate as much as they were comfortable with (keep in mind most of them were fairly young and recent University grads for the most part so not all that much spare money).

As it turned out I seem to recall it cost her something like $2100. score one for the rebel.....:laughing9::laughing9::laughing9:

WD,

Let's just say I wasn't very worried for her financially....her hubby was a VP at a major oil firm probably making about $250k and she was making about $100k at the time....Besides I wanted to make sure lots of those Christmas baskets went out for a good cause....:laughing7::laughing7::laughing7:

Hey, Bill, I have a pick for you from our fishing trip on Labor Day weekend. Yeah, I think about you guys even when I am not online.
