They all own multiple exotic cars but no joke they will spend a week trying to decide if we should buy 100 RFID cards at $20 or higher quality ones that you can print on better for $300. They agonize over expenses that even I don't think twice about. One of the owners once told me that once you spend a penny you will never see that penny again. To think rich people get rich by not caring about spending money is nievie at best. Not everyone inherits money from their daddy and blows it all without batting an eye. I do agree that there are many who don't give a damn about consumables or expenses but I suspect they ALL have a desire for a lighter car regardless of consumable cost.

I am out though, I see in your next post your moving towards personal attacks.
To be fair I agree that everyone cares what items cost. However, people who track more expensive cars are OK with the cost of consumables because 1. there's not a cheaper option if they want to track car X, Y or Z and 2. they knew that going in and the cost is worth the experience.

And then there's some who just want to be the top dog and actually don't care what anything costs at all but that's a minority I'd say based on my experience.
