Ugh, that article made me sick. To have that kind of money and to purchase cars like that only to destroy them. It wouldn't be so bad (hey, it's his money and as long as he's enjoying it and the cars!) but the uber rare ones, like the concept car? That is a crime. Why buy the only other version of a car if you know you are just going to destroy it?

And if he has that kind of money Scott, he can afford to "still give it the spurs."

well ... think of it this way ... Ford was probably able to afford staying out of bankruptcy thanks to this old guy ... because they now have the ONLY one left of that concept car. I bet the one Ford has is the original and is worth 10X's more now
