yeh, some people got it pretty rough. wonder if he can afford health care

[bakerhillpins]

Saw this episode on Velocity TV.  Interesting room and yes pricy. Not sure I would have spent the money the same way but it is his to spend. Some folks have been fortunate, really fortunate. I envy them in some respects but not in others.

Why would a guy even bother to have a pair of ladies shoes made to resemble a car?   Is he looking for a way to screw a car

Nice collection by the way.  I didn't see a charger in there though.  His loss

[Indygenerallee]

Why would a guy even bother to have a pair of ladies shoes made to resemble a car?   Is he looking for a way to screw a car

Maybe he likes to play dress up and drive his Bugatti! 

[Fred]

OMG!  In my dreams.
Makes me realise just how poor I am.

Were'nt they for his wife?


I would rather have that hemi cuda than the bugatti... And I'd drive the hell out of it.

[Dino]

OMG!  In my dreams.
Makes me realise just how poor I am.

If I recall, you have a wonderful wife you love dearly, a black 68 Hemi Charger, and you live away from the bulk of civilization....I would say you are a very rich man my friend.   

I don't have the hemi, but I got the rest of it so I would never trade what I have for what he has, money is just money.  You need it to be sure, but I sure as hell don't need all that and in the last several years my priorities have shifted away from owning 'stuff'.

You're right of course Dino. I should have included "but I'm happy all the same" because I am. Happy and content. You can't ask for more than that.
Cheers mate. 

[bobs66440]

That dude's not even on the same planet as me. That's conspicuous consumption of the highest level and quite wasteful to me. You can change many families lives for the money he's got invested there. I'm as much a car guy as anyone, but I would never feel the need to go that far over the top, no matter how much money I had...

I wouldn't mind being rich mind you, but I sometimes wonder if it would really make me happier.  I'm pretty happy with life right now, hasn't always been this way. 
I forgot to add good health to the list though, nothing more important than that.

Have a healthy beer on me mate.

bingo!

I like him even less now.

[Patronus]

I enjoyed how he was so straight with the prices. I would've thought that a bit rude but... eh, whatever.. Ya gotta admit, a beautiful collection, and a beautiful home/garage. Some sweet Mopar history in those walls. Thanks for posting!

On the other hand, what else is he supposed to do with it? Give it all away. It's his to enjoy.

Know wounder you pay a buyer's & seller's premium.

[Mytur Binsdirti]

I guess the collector car auction business is good and those 10% buyer and seller commisions must add up!

[Cooter]

Am I reading what I think I'm reading? Are there others that have distain for filthy rich Douche's too? Wow, whodda thunk it.

[stripedelete]

Who knows he could be in his secret laboratory working on a cure for cancer every night.  But, his "affect" or general lack of humility in this interview makes him pretty unlikable.   For that matter, he doesn't seem to likable at the auction either.    

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Am I reading what I think I'm reading? Are there others that have distain for filthy rich Douche's too? Wow, whodda thunk it.

The Hemi hater strikes again. Man, you follow me like a lost puppy and I'm beginning to think that you have a man-crush on me.  

But anyway.... I simply made a comment about the collector car auction business. For the most part, my living is derived from those who are doing very well & unlike some, I do not envy "them" one bit.

Cooter, I'll have you know that there are members on this very site that have done well and made lots and lots of money and you wouldn't even know it. They talk and joke like anyone else.  You shouldn't look at ones success as a sign that they're a spoiled snob.   Of course there are plenty of wealthy snobs out there just like there are plenty of wealthy good people that worked hard and earned it.  Like I said, I think there are some on this site that would surprise you.   Just sayin.

You are quite correct. It is his to enjoy. I was just merely expressing how it made me feel and how I would be if I were in his position.

Skip, try and understand before assuming you know where I'm coming from. Afterall, Douchebag/Turd bin has that market cornered. I was referring to the way THIS GUY spent HIS MONEY, which was basically what everybody else that posted here said anyway. This is a perfect example of Rich guy doucheness. Spending HUGE money on stupid sh*t, when there's starving people/ folks without a dime to their name. IMO, that is what my post referred to. I don't "Hate" ALL RICH PEOPLE, only the douchy ones. This guy IMO, qualifies. The ones that don't "Flaunt" it, or have "The attitude", I have no problem with.

Sooner or later, I've had to explain when some folks come up to me at a car show and ask "Wow, you must be loaded to afford all these cars you have"....

I calmly reply, "If you knew how much I had in ALL four (4) cars, you couldn't buy that $50K SUV you just drove up in"..
I usually get this reply from them...
"Really? So you must do your own work then, or something, because I have to pay for this and there's NO WAY I could afford four cars"...
I then , explain to them that of course I do my own work, but they didn't know that and assumed I was loaded and couldn't do my own work"..

So, you see, it isn't just me Skip, People see what their eyes see. Only that. Don't piss dowen my back and tell me it's raining. This guy is a douche.

[Dino]

Yeah well we're all guilty of that now aren't we?  Instead of donating 15 grand to the poor folks, I went out and bought a Charger.  Many members here did the same thing so does that make us all douchebags?  The world isn't black and white my friend.

And again, we have no clue what else he does with his money, for all we know he has some huge trust fund for cancer kids, who knows?

GEESH dino, you of all people I figured would have enough sense to see through the hate. But, you are 100% correct Dino...My bad, this guy is great.

Did I miss the point?  Sorry about that, not feeling all too well today, in a bit of a daze...

If I misread, I apologize.

Nope, This guy is a wonderful person and spends his money the way he sees fit and all of us "Little People" should just be happy for him. There, said.
He is a saint that has done wonders for the hobby.

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Cooter, I don't know you but it's obvious that you really do have a hair across your ass. No.... a piece of barbed wire. If someone has nice things, and you don't like it; to you, they're a douche. Whether you're thowing jabs at me or the Barrett Jackson guy, do you honestly believe that those who are successful don't work hard for the money they earn? Do you think they are just sitting on big bags of money pulling out fistfulls of dollars and waving it in people's faces all day long? Seriously. And if someone who can afford it wants to build a nice big house and/or surround themselves with a lot of nice stuff, what's it matter to you?

As I've said before, many of my clients are wealthy people & I know I'm never going be as wealthy as them, but when "they" buy my products & services, iI am, in turn, provided with a decent income, as well as the people I employ. Many of my clients live in multi-million dollar homes & instead of cursing them out, I say God bless them. Some of my client's homes can take as long as 2-3 years to construct & believe me, they employ a lot of subcontractors, who employ more people. Plus, think about all of the materials that go into a home like that and those additional people that are employed. Then, once they're built, they have to fill there homes with "stuff" which costs plenty and even more people are employed. And once they move in, many will hire even more people to do house cleaning and interior/ exterior mantanance on their homes. Then, for the privilage of owning such a nice home filled with nice stuff, local government charges more in property taxes. Personally, I wouldn't want anything like that, but some do. So what's it to you? The trickle down effect really does work and yet you just sit there and growse.

Let me ask you this; is it fair that a couple with 5 kids in the school system, who live in a 1,100 square foot slab hose placed on a postage stamp lot pay less in local taxes than another couple who live in a 10,000 square foot house placed upon 10 acres with only 2 kids in the same school system?  Think about it before you go off in another venomous rich-hating rant. Other than becoming bitter, envy will get you nowhere in life. In the mean time, here's a sour-puss picture that perfectly suites you. I suggest that you really should use it as your avatar, that is, unless the one you currently have better describes you.......

BTW, nice editing job in your previous post. Fortunately, your unedited comment is still here for all to see.

I forwarded this to my bro. He's been over at cc.com for years, says this crap is like 5 years old!

I for one believe in enjoying what I have and not stressing out over what I haven't got.
Makes for a happy life.

[chargd72]

Jeez guys...   I just wanted to share the video with everyone.

I don't care who he is, how much he has, or what his MO is.  I just thought it was cool he had some bad@$$ mopars in his colletction.

[Fred]

I thought it was cool too and enjoyed it very much. Thanks for sharing. 

[JB400]

I for one don't mind seeing how the rich live, but I enjoy the life I have.   The only way to make it better was if all the bills were paid and the charger was done.

[Mike DC]

 
Do I mind that this guy has so much money and stuff?  No.  

Do I think he worked hard for it?  Probably. 

Do I think he worked 5 or 10 times as hard as someone with 1/5th or 1/10th as much?  Not a chance.  

Life isn't fair and neither is money. 



The only thing that bugs me about this guy is that he made a lot of that money by making every redneck in the country think his rusty 318 Belvedere is worth HemiCuda money.  It's a PITA for the rest of us.

Wait Mike, this guys a saint. I mean afteral, look how much he's done for the hobby. Even the "Rednecks" After selling that 318 Belvedere, can enjoy spending like this guy now.
