You Only Live Once !
Tom Gonzales, entrepreneur and car collector has 4 in his underground garage in Lake Tahoe area with under 10 miles on them . He has been heard to exclaim " I cant believe the bargain price " . His total of cars , trucks, decked out busses , boats , airplanes, motorcycles and possibly every Corvette built , and sometimes multiples of the same car , now exceeds 1000 vehicles in his underground air conditioned garage . He has all the Ferrari /Lambos ,Porsche GTs , Ford GTs , Bentleys, Rolls Royces , Harleys , that one can only dream about . He even buys the winning vehicles of major races . If you google his name there are several great reading stories . If you are in sales you would wish to God all customers could be like him . If you are lucky enough to be called by his agent ,the conversation goes something like this . " Is it possible that you have this vehicle that my employer is looking for and if you do how soon may we send our enclosed car carrier to pick it up ? One of the nicest customers on this earth ! A man who works hard , knows what he wants and gets it at any price .

It's like buying a can of the best beer in the world and never drinking it !
"You have a Z06 " ?
"yeah man"
"How long ya had it " ?
"Oh, I dunno, maybe 2 years or so "
"How does it drive" ?
"I dunno, I never drove it " !
My 01 has 69K on it, I was real mileage cautious for awhile until my ZR-1 buddy laughed and said, take good care of it so the next guy can really enjoy it !
Uh..point well taken.
