Rent a Ride ?????

[Bob Drury]

I wonder if the winning bidder gets a room?  Maybe he will get the room next to mine in downtown Wells, Nev., where the nightlife can go...well, all night, if you get my drift.
Slim, my apologies for all the comma's..........

how much this time, I didn't see it on ebay

But wait....There's more, see item 120083828472   
I guess they are trying it again.  Of course you get half of you cash back it the car doesn't go fast enough. 

I thought they were asking $250K last year, could be a long way to go for bakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkker..........
Just kidding, had one of those WWJD moments (what would Jack do) sorry, just couldn't help myself.
Y'all have fun now...

Bob:

All commas were okay, even if there were quite a few.  But you used one too many apostrophes.

Well let see now, I've got $50,000 plus tied up in my ride, rent a ride at, lets see now, $5000 a meet, less expenses, golly I might be able to recoupe my outlay by 2017 barring any breakage and stuff. OOOPPS, that means I don't get to drive my hotrod, no way man. I'm in the pilot seat and any volunteers will share the ride once in a while.

Working with a good crew for free, maybe a t-shirt, and having your picture taken with them is not only worth the investment but a priceless memory that will last longer than the money.
That is not limited to a race team but includes helping with the event.
Building your own ride will be an even more rare commodity with rewards to match.
Building a ride with a buddy or your kid will solidify even that.
If that was tough to understand, then maybe Dave can help.

I'm astounded  .......I read through this thread , most of it hilarious , and absurd....then at the end is Jack ...........in clear unambiguous English explaining the meaning of life.

I can't put a dollar value on what I'm trying to do , don't really care . I see anyone who "buys" extreme adventure experience as a bit like someone riding around in a sedan chair....they haven't really got their "feet on the ground" .

[John Nimphius]

I believe that it?s not unusual that the comments you?ll find on a thread like this are likely to be a little ridiculous.  Most of us view the idea of renting an LSR ride as opposed to participating in its creation or development absurd and hilarious!

Damn. Ya know I wrote that in American and the English speakers got it anyway.
Monty Python's movie "The meaning of life" has always been a great inspiration for me.

Jack, I would have thought it was "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest".

I guess its all supply and demand. If someone is willing to pay, then let them have at it...

Or its simply someone doesnt have the "Time" left, to build a rod and race it,... Could he/she still not fullfill a dream...

I thought it was ridiculous last year, until I sat back and thought about it again... Not that ridiculous... Entrepeneur comes to mind...

Not any different then the MANY MANY MANY people in the sport who have climed into the vehicle of someone elses and set records on the salt... Wether for a beer, or for money... Its all the same... Just one might be able to buy more beer at the end of the day...

Jon, that reminds me, I owe you a beer for helping me have way too much fun last year....
