Whoa! If the decision is made by a bean counter, Curt gets screwed. You've gotta know who ultimately decides the value of the position. While we all know and believe Curt is high value to them, or should be, none of us know who ultimately judges the value of the position to the company.

I will say this - it’s fun for the first year or two, at least it was for me. Starting in year 3 or 4 it started being a PITA, because there would be stuff I would miss with the kids or things I wanted to to do that I just couldn’t because I wasn’t around. In my case I was lucky in the sense

[MBZ] BAT 300CD

And it's red. How high can it go? And aren't the coupes designated C123 instead of W123? Seems like the only car I've seen on BAT that wasn't given a W chassis number was the W123 that was poorly stretched. They called that one a V123 although it plainly was not.
