Josh does some thinking. Maybe the rich guy aren't so bad

[Mr 5 0]

'Rich Guys' are just like 'Poor Guys' in dedication to their cars and performance, as you noted - they just have a lot more money.

I had a friend who actually sold a rental condo he owned and poured $25,000. into his Camaro to make it competetive for road racing at Lime Rock. That's dedication.

Most wealthy posers don't race. The classic 'middle-aged dentist in a new Corvette' isn't going to challenge you at a light in his $45,000. manhood-extender. It's the 'rich guys' who simply love cars and speed that I admire for having the cash, the interest and the know-how to pour big money into building up a factory-stock car into a screamer. Spoiled-brat schoolboys with parents that have more money than brains are not part of that group, of course.

Jealous? You bet, but that jealousy is mixed with admiration, in most cases.
