When you spend $100,000, to $200,000 plus on a car, I am guessing they don’t live in it, and have the ability to pay for the high end insurance to go with it.

One can see more Jags, Maserati, Ferrari, Bentley, and occasional RR. inside TV, than in most affluent communities. Spend $200,000 plus for a car, I am thinking his financial guy is on speed dial.

When one appreciates a fine machine, you don’t have to assume anything. If we still had our split window, and Shelby, I wouldn’t be putting in $7.00 in gas, it would take that much just to start it up and drive there. We rarely add to tank over 1/2, sometimes performance cars get a little fickle and adding gas at mutual stations.. but just listen to our car guy

So no, don’t need to be a financial advisor to know how much a classic machine sticker cost is, or appreciate the machine itself. Just surprised someone would sit in line for $7.00 worth of gas. Especially with their engines, top off isn’t worth it, $7. Is 2.4 gallons ish, when clicked off. Rarely does a car less than a few years old has a gas gage issue, so wild guess, gas was cheap, and didn’t want to buy at a higher rate.
