That is just pure wisdom.

It took me decades, but I have gained a level of wisdom that is approaching that dude. I spend a lot of my time nowadays getting rid of stuff. Sometimes, I just toss it aside, and some dudes say shit like "you're leaving a lot of money on the table getting rid of it like that", like I am supposed to spend a shit ton of my life trying to sell this shit to get a few more nickels. I just shake my head, and move on. Let them chase the nickels, I want to go play golf.

I remember one time a while back a guy I met was bragging about how much more money he made than me. I told him you probably spend more money that me.

That's quite classless of that guy. I've met many assholes, but never one like that.

I try to get stuff that I or my family needs, will make us more money, and a few things that are just toys.

Alternately, I'm very generous about helping others around me with things I no longer need that they really do.

Since you're no longer using the GTO, and I really need one, just bring it on by when you're back up this way. I'll keep it clean and shiny.

If you want to downsize the '63, and it's free to a good home, I'll provide it a good home. I promise to water (wash) it, feed (gas) it and exercise (drive it like I stole it) it on a regular basis.

I'm sure it feels neglected sitting in the garage in the frozen tundra back home.

Supposed to be home April 2 but now have to fly back down here in a month to close on a new home.
