Even if my liquid assets numbered in the billions rather than dollars, I would not want one of these. Just too much trouble.

I would want a high end Mecedes or two and also Porsche. Vehicles I could drive across country without worrying about a breakdown or maintenance.

Back in 1974 the local Mercedes Dealer had one of their sports cars for $18,000. I did some figuring and my wife and I could have bought it tho it would have required cutting things pretty close. Instead we used the money as a down payment on a house. I do wonder how much that Mercedes would be worth today if we had kept it up well.

Instead we bought a new 73 Olds Cutlass. A perfectly nice comfortable car.

In 1970 I bought a new Torino 429 Cobra Jet for $4200, today that sucker would be worth between $70,000 and $90,000.
I fully intend on owing one again ;^)
