You'd trade it in on some old piece of Detroit iron in a couple of months, so I wouldn't even bother getting you one....

I was down on the boat dock on Sunday morning early (I am on Nantucket for a few days) and it was the end of race week, a bunch of old 12m yachts (America's Cup boats, there were some familiar boats there) were rafted up. Some guys were standing next to me talking, one of them owned one of the 12 meters. So the one guy asked him where he lived, he said Breckenridge for the winter then Newport for the summer. The guy was maybe my age or younger, looked like a total dweeb, but I guess he had money out the waz, so how he looked probably doesn't matter. Anyway, I got thinking that I sure wouldn't waste my time fooling around with old blowboats if I had big bucks, and probably wouldn't look like a dweeb either, more like a goober maybe. I wouldn't have some bigass stinkpot either (compensation), maybe a fishing boat and a little cat boat or something to putt around in. But anyway, I guess I would be Richie Rich, but it wouldn't be noticeable except when I was in my fancy rides. I'd still like driving Brunnhilda, just for the old Benz factor.

BTW I saw a nice TD here, with VEGGIE TURBODIESEL on the hatch, the VEGGIE looked just like the other letters. I took a pic on my phone but don't have the cable, will have to post it when I get home.

Here's a thought: If you won the lottery, you would be Richy Rich!
