I gave this car and the baroness some thought today, after posting this article. She made the conscious effort to save herself and this bit of ostenaciousness while millions died in horror. I dunno. Very Ayn Randish.
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends....
Well, they won’t be found in my storage either. I’m at the tail-end of clearing away my parent’s and grandparent’s stuff. While my gentleman friend and I enjoy plowing our way through the “Lovejoy” series, I think lifting the lid on another box of “treasures” would just about do me in. Afraid there were no dusty Daimlers in the garage; just an ‘88 Dodge Caravan that went to charity.
My sympathies. Been there, done that.
In the end it’s just stuff and it can weigh you down...it begins to own you. I went through my stuff and down-sized. If it was not beautiful or useful....it went. Three sets [for 12] of family sterling silver ...beaucoup china and enough linens to stock an embassy. All gone to people who would like them more than me...coz I don’t entertain in any grand scale like I used to. :)
Way to go, Daffy!
A cool $11,770,000.
