You make it seem like the owner of the car and or business is spending magical money that just fell off of his money tree and subsequently landed neatly into his wallet. Last I checked bud, to spend money you first have to have earned it somewhere. Rant over!

perhaps Jared will take the time to explain not only why this is smart as a write off... but also how businesses close their doors all the time...

I have a friend who bought a motor home that came with not one, but TWO SPEC E30 race cars because the guy had prepped all the cars under his business. When his business folded he had to liquidate it all. One of the cars was running.. and the other was a nightmare care that my friend could not get running.
