Sometimes, friends and co-workers ask me why I paid $4000 for a watch. When I answer, "Which one?" everything gets quiet.

LOL Alan! That's one of the best answers to that kind of question I've ever heard. Great stuff.

By the way, how is your bug doing? I see you have it in your avatar.....

In the words of Patrick Heiniger, CEO of Rolex, when asked how watch sales were, "We do not sell watches, we sell luxury items." But I like Earl's answer, because I can.=) maverick

The Bug had a small problem with its headlights, but otherwise is doing fine. The 2006 model seem to be okay enough for me to want one. The rumor mill says the New Beetle's days are numbered. (It's last year is to be 2008 or 9.)

So pretty soon you're going to own a classic, which then will become an antique, and then you can sell it for enough to buy any damned watch you want. See, dreams can come true, Alan.

From flipping watches to flipping cars, never thought about that.
