I'm in my 2006 Ford Dually - towing a 24' single car hauler... and I'm thinking (asking myself). Holy crap! I wonder WTF those guys do for a living?!?!
That was my point exactly. Panoz Roadster, GT40's, etc. We all know what they cost. So, that would be equivalent to my thinking of, "...dang, what does a guy do for a living to be able to afford a $25k LS9?" Many of us have two cars that don't equal $25k, yet alone just the motor.
