Just to make sure I understand . . . you pay $61,500 just to have the 
privilege of then buying the 1600cc car? Wow. The other expenses are 
attention getters as well. Somehow I don't think my bicycle would be very 
safe there, though.

Thanks for sharing the perspective, one of the side benefits of being a LUG 
member! Thank Brian for that!
