Bizzare Exotic Cars

A millionaire Suffolk businessman has passed away, leaving a surprise in his barn.  Apparently, the man grew bored with his fleet of exotic cars, and simply left them in a barn for about 20 years collecting dust.  Well, what failed to pique his interest has certainly grabbed ours!

Yes, the seven luxury cars were discovered after the deceased man’s family suggested the auctioneer might want to examine “the old cars in the barn”.  By old cars, they meant:

Chalk one up for brand loyalty-some people really love their favorite car brand, and are willing to pay for it.  This was proven yet again during an auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, when a 1970 Boss 429 Mustang sold for an unprecedented $275,000. 

The government’s “Cash for Clunkers” program generated much fuss, including a rumor that some of the relinquished cars turned in for credit were rare exotic and luxury cars. 

The nature of the “Cash for Clunkers” program is to provide people with an incentive to become more “green”, by giving them a cash credit to turn in their older model gas guzzlers, which are then crushed.  No one in his or her right mind would crush a rare exotic, right? 

It would be shocking for anyone to actually crush an exotic collectors car.  It seems that some of the models were incorrectly entered into the computer, as a Mercury Grand Marquis was entered as an Aston Martin.  Like anyone is going to give their Aston Martin to “Cash for Clunkers” for a measly 5 grand.  Owners of Astons do not need five grand, and take pride in their exotics.  The story holds no validity.

Aston Martin owners hearing of this mix-up once it hit the rumor-mill must have been thoroughly amused.  If you are not an owner, remember you can still indulge in an Aston Martin rental to feel the full-effect of the luxury car.  Or maybe stop by the Cash for Clunkers lot and scan the contents for a great deal on an Aston (sorry, couldn’t stop myself).

Oh Conan.  Childish sniveling seems to be Conan’s solution to salvaging his dignity.  Background for those of you who may be out of the loop:  NBC made a business decision to place Leno back to his original time slot, due to lagging ratings and complaints from NBC affiliates who claim Leno’s show provided a weak lead-in to their late night news broadcasts.  Drama ensued.
