Some get the "Big head syndrome" when spending big bucks on a MOST RARE CAR, some of it is brand NAME loyalty, and that loyalty is GOOD. There's probably collectors of PEZ DISPENSERS or VACUUM CLEANERS out there with BIG HEADS!
As an oooold street rodder & drag racer, I like to appreciate the skill & ingenuity in the construction of other's cars, amazing! Some of them are amazed at what WE'VE done in restoring pieces of CRAP & made a really beautiful, driveable original machine!
Mercedes owner "BRAGGED" about spendin' $2,377.77 to tune his car, Ole' Bill retorted, "Should have brought it over house & I could have done it for $237.77 and we could afford BEER for a MONTH!" (BURP!) Bill W.
