A client of mine got a brain abscess (true story) and started acting erratically. He spent a large chunk of his savings on a Ferrari. He actually would drive it in the snow.
He started really behaving erratically and started wetting his pants in public and not finishing his sentences. We got him to see a doctor and the doctor found an abscess in his brain. After the surgery (and full recovery), he realized that owning a $110,000 car was a bad idea and tried to get the dealer to buy it back. I think he eventually sold it at a loss. The maintenance alone on it was astronomical. --- On Tue, 1/26/10, Nicholas Geti <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Nicholas Geti <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [OT]: How often do I start my car? > To: "ProFox Email List" <[email protected]> > Date: Tuesday, January 26, 2010, 4:31 PM > You should look up the maintenance > records of those two brands.
