[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 544724, member: 1211"] You get to see them in their environment. That's pretty much what I'm after here. Where do they go to rest after they've been purchased? It's one thing to see a Lamborghini on the road, but it's quite another [to me] to see it sitting in the owner's garage, or wherever, however that might be set up. That place...that setup...is just as interesting to me as the pipe, the purchasing, and maybe even the purchaser. I mean...a garage is a garage...unless there's something unique in it or about it. There's a reason Jay Leno had a show just about his garage. The cars came in and came out, but another character in the situation was the garage itself. And hey, I could be imagining something that doesn't even exist with these big Danish collectors. Maybe they lean them in the same Decatur pipe rack as everyone else. One of the Dunhill collectors I knew had more money than he could ever spend, but he lived like someone who made $50K/year. He was completely non-descript. He had a nice watch. He had a couple of nice cars. That's it. He was milk otherwise. I'm not really wondering about money here, but more about eccentricities that could possibly be influenced by the money. [/QUOTE]
