If I ever went to a meet I'd probably have a name tag that says 'intotheocean' and than be polite/shake hands and give you my real name.
Than go back to being a shy turtle haha

I don't think there are a lot of female 86 owners (or potential owners). You probably wouldn't have to worry about the nametag :-p

Montana has the highest percentage of millionaires in the US. I believe the highest concentration is in Hong Kong.

Speaking of wealth, back when Bill Gates was at the peak of his wealth (55 B), did you know if he was walking and dropped $1000, it would not be worth the 4 seconds of his time to pick up the money rather than continuing about his day? If you assume he worked 14 hours a day, for 25 years, he made, on average, a million dollars an hour or $300/second. He'd "lose" $200 in the time it would take to pick up a thousand dollars off the ground.

How do I get that kind of wealth so I can start doing the kind of philanthropy he does?

I was actually aware of that believe it or not. Got some friends in Montana, beautiful state.

You're a few years late to this train. The current bubble is apps.

All of a sudden the Juke Nismo seems desirable because of the price.

I'm from Montana, and I bet they all live in Paradise valley which is outside of Livingston!

Yup. There was a Lexus LFA at an obscure park here in Kentucky. Shocked the crap out of me since my Dad got to see it and he didn't know what it was except a Lexus coupe.

Nothing better then an obscure 60's Ferrari in a Brooklyn alley.

She gained weight. But more importantly, she was happy to see me. :3

Ha, my cat is overweight too.

Yeah it doesn't bother me if people, from this forum, wanted to refer to me as M-17.

However, it would bother me though if it was a complete stranger that knew my actual name though. [not this again]
