Or he could of just given it to him, he lives in a castle and has what, at the minimum 60-79 cars? However, exactly how you and me think is why we are not rich. Apparently you have to be someone who can hear one of the most amazing/touching stores of your lifetime, and take a year to even let the man drive his dad's car. He's old, and he's going to die soon anyway. Could of given it to the young buck to enjoy and remember his dad by. Absolutely absurd. That is what it takes to get that rich though, a heart of stone and not giving a shit about anything. Highly doubt he did it for him, he clearly did it for himself so he could feel good about himself like he did his good deed for the decade.

I'm Puertorican, I have been on the search for my grandfather's Ferrari 250 California. My grandmother sold it back in 1972 for $1,500 (fair price back then for an old Ferrari) when my grandfather died in a car accident in his Renault Gordini. Last I happen to hear of the Ferrari, it had been seen in FL, then auctioned off in California and sent to Italy.

The 2000GT (and Mazda Cosmo) have always been at the very top of my dream-car list. I was fortunate enough to eventually drive the 2000GT as well, and I'm nearly certain it was your Dad's car, Emile. The line of copies it sat between was almost incomprehensible - I couldn't believe it. After the owner rejected my request to drive the Shelby version, I'm pretty sure I drove your Dad's old car. I'll forever be thankful to the owner. He made a life-long dream come true.
