I understand, and that "WHO" was mostly rhetorical. It
is really no different than if some high roller had
come along and bid up the price of the one I bought.
"Them as has, gits," as the country saying goes.
Spending 90 large for one of those vehicles is no
different for someone making 10 times what I do than
me spending what I did for my camper, relatively
speaking.
