I agree

 I (on the other hand) being retired, have more than I could ever 
spend. Not that I'm rich or anything but I am such a reclusive/hermit 
that I never spend money. My wife is the "buyer" here.

 Tried em all, still like the spl 20 (golden melody close second).

Had SCCA license, but never saw the need to race on the "street" 
(although I did it for a living). Funny thing about cars. I had a 
Shelby 350 when I was 23. Neighbor had Aston Martin (he was 46). My car 
cost $4,ooo, his was $40,ooo. Both cars were similar (in the 
vernacular), i.e. had engine, transmission, seats, wheels, etc.

 The speed limit on the turnpike was 65 for BOTH of us. I finally wound 
up with a Tempo. I would suppose that IF a person wanted to speed on 
the harmonica, and break all the barriers, and go off into uncharted 
territory, a "Filisko Ferrari" might be the way to go, but I would be 
satisfied with an Isetta.

store and shit.... :)     smo-joe
