Reminds me of a guy I met who had a Beechcraft Bonanza aircraft. I said that he must be rich to own one of them, but no, he said he used to be rich and now he owns a Bonanza.
It is the same thing with yachts. They are defined as : "a hole in the water lined with fibreglass, into which you throw money" ....
Cheers, Mike.
( edit ) For that matter, video cards come to mind : "a slab of silicon lined with fans, at which you throw money".

Yeah, and to be current, it is a hole in the water lined with carbon fibre composite ......
A mate of mine spent a fortune on one & only the next day the main mast was wrecked in a storm at the berth. He didn't even get to sail it. I told him it was because God hates him, and he nodded. Lesson : if you've got the money for one then just give it away. It's quicker and you will make more friends.
Cheers, Mike.

A man is on holiday in Spain and, one night, sits down at a local restaurant. He asks the waiter to bring him the best dish which turns out to be some kind of meatballs. They're really good and he asks what's in them. 'Ah, it's a local specialty, they are the bull's testicles, sir. From today's bull fighting even, so very fresh!' the waiter informs him proudly. The man is not sure how he feels about this, but he has to admit that it was a very good dish. So, when he is about to go home a week later, he decides to return for a last dinner. The dish is still as good as he remembers, but this time the meatballs are quite a bit smaller. He asks the waiter about this who responds: 'Ah, but this depends on how the fight goes, sir. Most times the Matador wins but this time, the bull won.'
