I have it on first hand authority that Murray Edwards, despite being owner of RCR, skis crappy cheap rental skis, even though he could walk into the on-hill shop and just grab the most expensive/nicest pair there.

I guess it's true what they say, you don't get rich by spending a lot of money.

I'd be driving a 550 Maranello. Might take me a while to find a mint one, or maybe a pile of $$$ to restore a less-than-mint one, but either way my dream car would be mine!

I recall waiting out behind the Dome for autographs about a decade or so ago.

Kostopolous stopped for an autograph and I swear to god, my first beater was better then what he was driving.
