I have always been intrigued with that statement – if he’s a fool, how did he get the money?

·       Lottery

·       Basketball player

·       NFL player out of prison

·       Rock star

·       Estate sale

OK – never mind

(whose also intrigued with the statement “Time is Money” and where I have a hard time with that equation is “Money isn’t Time.”  Alas)

Guys please take a look around you and see who has the jobs that make that kind of money to buy those cars?

Because that's the market 

It's not the so called millennium crowd 

They are struggling from the recent rescission 

Trying to buy homes 

Raise families 

Just look at the sales of the so called famed Nissan GTR !

In fact look who is going to the car shows!

The bubble isn't about to happen 

It's already here!

That crowd wants value for there hard earned money not some history of a race it won before the Vietnam war!

There are no more poster cars for little boys to grow up and dream about

Remember the  Testarossa   (Sic) poster ?

The Lamborghini poster ?

Even the car magazines have toned it down and kids don't buy them only adults do

We all bought them but ask your nephew or grandson if he does?

In fact the video games don't have cars in them anymore 

They are all first person shooter games 

How do I know I play them with my grandson 

Unless you were fortunate to have a rich relative like Charles or have a father like Eric 

Who has a buy here pay here car lot 

You will not be exposed to these vehicles and you will only see them in the movies!

Ferrari, Lamborghini, McClaren, Maserati  and the like will struggle in the near term 

 

That's my take on it 

 

One last word 

Went to the local McClaren dealership the other day 

My old squadron mate bought a 2012 one so I got him a hat

There was one of those 2015 super trick Lamborghini that went for $500 plus there in trade with 3 k miles on it

They gave him $300k on trade for it!

 

Ah yes the saying is true

A fool and his money is soon parted 

 

 

In victory you deserve Champagne

In defeat you need it!
