    Hi guys,

    So, yesterday I got a voicemail from a non-car-guy friend in Hollywood (yes,
    we all have a few friends who for some reason aren't nutty about cars) who
    told me that he drove to a job at the NBC studios, had his car valet parked,
    and
    noticed an absolutely stunning, 100-point '66 Shelby GT-350H in a prime spot.

    He looked it over well and said that it literally looked like a brand new
    car. The valet attendant said that the previous day, the same driver had
    been
    driving a new Bentley.

    My friend commented that he must have some big bucks, and the attendant
    laughed and said, "It's Steven Spielberg!"

    Guys,

    It's not the big bucks, it's matter of priorities! I'm sure that Mr.
    Spielberg can afford any number of cars he might want, and that's great. However, as
    the owner of two Bentley's ('37 and '58) two Rolls-Royce ('30 and '37) and
    three "real" Shelby's, among others, with a net worth that is a fraction (and a
    very small one at that) of 1% of his, I'd just rather have the cars than
    almost anything else. We should have running water and a TV in the house soon, but
    not if another bargain comes along...

    Well, maybe a little tongue-in-cheek,
