Gabriel
always wanted a firetruck, since he was a little boy. He never grew out
of that infatuation with firetrucks, so at age 32 (and a half), he
bought one.
If we based decisions on practicality,
we'd all drive Taurcedes until we had kids, then we'd get minivans and
we'd all be miserable. At 65, we'd retire and finally get that
entry-level Porsche Boxter that we'd been wanting for the past 40 years.
That doesn't sound like a good plan to me.
The coolest toys in
the world aren't practical. Koenigsegg certainly aren't. Jet fighters -
nope. Army tanks - nope. Did you know that you can buy old aircraft
carriers on eBay? Can you imagine wake boarding behind one of those
things? "Cool" just isn't practical. I've come to terms with that.
So
I went ahead and pulled the eBay trigger and was elated to get truck
1213 for just $100 more than the reserve price. A total of $3,600 which
also happened to be the hard limit my wife had imposed on this
particular invaluable transaction.
