I had completely forgotten about this thread, but something did happen recently that ties directly into the subject. We now own a 911 SC. We also recently got a puppy Golden Retriever, which as any puppy will do, gets excited and likes to jump up on people when they approach. I know that he will out grow this. Well my daughter took the dog for a walk down the street and someone made the comment that we should take it to an obedience school. My daughter basicly repeated what I had said about not wanting to spend the money for something that he will mostly likely grow out of anyways. Well the reply my daughter got was ".....well, you own 3 Mercedes and a Porsche. Money shouldn't be a problem". I can afford to send the dog to "school", but that's not the point. What people don't realize is that all 4 of my cars cost me a total of, $16,000. A hell of alot less than the $32,000 they spent on ONE Chevy Tahoe.
