Tony dammit you're gettin' too riled up over Pauly!
I think what people meant by dipwad and all is not that he is an idiot overall, but that this ONE decision is stupid. And sure, its his money he can do what he wants, but we can still wonder WHY, since the decision is kinda NON-profitable from an:
1.) Emotional standpoint ("ruining" a collector car)
2.) Finiancal standpoint ('nother car would cost less, and he could have made a mint selling it)
3.) Valuable time wasted (gutting it when he could have bought one already gutted for cheaper).
I just think its funny

...because I don't think having tons of money makes it OK to waste it, and that he is SO obviously doing for bragging rights when the same goal could have been reached in a much easier manner.
With that said, I'm off to buy an Erion Racing Edition Honda CBR929RR so I can strip it and put a CBR600 engine in it

Later!
