My dad worked at an oil tools manufacturing shop and when I was in high school he got me a job there as an after school gig. I worked in the shop doing odd jobs and cleaning things up and what not. I was talking with one of machinists at one point who was a young guy in his 20s. He told me about the time a couple years prior when his grandpa died who was apparently pretty wealthy. When he died he obviously split up his wealth amongst his family and surprisingly he left that machinists a Rolls Royce in his will. He said it was the most ridiculous thing ever because the guy could barely afford insurance for it and had no business driving a Rolls. He drove it to work a few times and parked beside his bosses and Management just for laughs. He had to sell it as it made no sense to keep it but he said it was something he would never forget.
