My second reaction to this (I don't need to tell you my first) is that this 
sort of stunt says nothing about the value of a given car to a given person 
but volumes about the value of a buck to a given person.  IMHO, the fellow 
who dropped 35K on a V8 MGB has many more of those dollars than he knows 
what to do with.  My personal economy is much more in line with David's, 
though I confess the most I've spent on an MG is $3000.00 (but I still won't 
tell you how old I am).
