this was his second or third registration on the vehicle. The value on his
was at 1 million. One item he had in there that caught my eye real quick
was the custom installed satellite system. Full high speed internet and
multi sat feeds with autotracking. The thing also expanded just about every
where. Bedroom, living room, and bathroom all expanded out. All of that
stuff was in the vehicle when ordered. I was told he was some kind of oil
consultant and spent all of his time in that vehicle and towed a small
compact car. It was his home and office that moved with him around the
country for about 11 months out of the year. He then came back to denver to
be with the family and then back to traveling again.
The wrecker is the same one that they send out after semi trucks. I hate to
think what a tow would cost by one of them. I guy I know used to work for a
company that all they did was the big tows. He said all those tows were
prepaid before they were dispatched. That to me says very big bill.

Planned insanity is best.
Remember that sanity is optional.
