But in my case owning and maintaining 2  late model Ferraris (that cost more 
than my 5 bedroom, pool home) plus a 2007  Aston-Martin, these gadgets are 
more than a  bargain.



When I was young I had a '72 Dino, a 59 XK-150 Fixed Head Jag, 9 Porsches  
and a Pantera. Now I have a 99 Expedition with 165k miles on it, a Escape with  
30k miles on it and a scratch built Harley. I don't give a shit about cars  
anymore. Can't drive more than one at a time. I'd sell the Expedition, but I  
probably couldn't give it away. I had a 2003 Jag S type with 400 HP. Sold it and 
 bought the Escape. The neighbors are still scratching their heads over that  
one.
 
I can fit 4 M-400s in the Expedition and have done so. It also holds 3  
Dobermans just fine. They drool and shed all over the inside. Dogs were never  
allowed in the Jag. That's why it had to go. I like dogs better than cars. I  like 
Mellotrons better than cars too.
 
I wish I had kept the Dino and the 59 XK-150. They'd be worth a whole lot  
now.
 
The old Jag was the best chick magnet ever. Like the Dino, I did a complete  
restoration on it. I'd drive into Georgetown (DC) and young women would run 
into  the street and ask for rides. No one knows how to build testosterone into 
cars  more than the British and the Italians.
 
Working on #386... the Phallotron. Bigger, bolder and harder than hell to  
get around to.
