A million people have asked (not that it's any of our business), but what the heck does he do for a living that he can afford the cars that he has and NOW the VIN #1 Z?

Oh well, I hope he wins it. At least the owner would be a member of the flock!

(Doc is strategizing here. We all know Doc is a, well, a Doc, and can easily afford this #1 Z himself. His plan is to sneak in there at that last minute with the high bid. Mark my words: If Doc doesn't win this car, I'll eat RPGonzalez's cat)

Tako is strange indeed, looks like he lives in amiddle class neighborhood, then he has close to a million dollars of cars in his garage.
I would say that he somehow won, inherited, his money, and invests it. I would not believe he earned this money the old fashion way, otherwise, frivolous spending would not be evident.

I wouldn't go out and say that people that earn their money the "old fashion way" manage to not spend it in a "frivolous" fashion. Take a look at the average billionaire, Bill Gates for example. No matter what one may feel about him, he's worked hard for his money. I don't think that he's a miser though, he's got a nice house (very nice) and most likely a nice car. Jay Leno, another hard working guy, spends his money on cars too.

To say that a guy who has the ability and interest to buy nice cars somehow didn't "earn" his money is really just not right, and a little immature. It's kind of like saying that rich guys are all jerks.

But, my thoughts.....tako, good for you. That's a fine stable. I kind of wish you had a better house (and garage) but it's your money to spend how you like.

The two things I want to know, what are you going to do with the 000001 Z, and, do you need a chauffer or personal valet parker?

I love that one

"He's a doctor, he has more money than god..."

I hope you guys are not serious. Fact is I am a doctor and have been out of school for 9 years and I still owe on my student loans more than some people owe on their houses.

Let's see 4 years of college, 4 years of med school, 4-7 years of residency (working 60-80 hrs a week while making less than everyone else in the hospital except the floor sweepers). Now your school loans have been compounding all this time.

Also the typical american is working like 40-60 hrs a week, the typical doctor works far more than 60 hrs a week. Sure we may be in the top percentile of pay, but it's not like the top CEO fat cats buying Rembrants for our vacation house in Vail.

Just watching you back Bonz, now call me if you want to get in on a Lear jet co-op.

Rai,
What specialty are you in? I am graduating from med school in May and will probably go into Gastroenterology.

I thought tako mentioned that he was lucky to have all his cars in one spot for that picture (that the the cars were just temporarily being held there). I doubt that the house shown in the picture is his permanent residence, or even his residence. If so, who cares anyway.
