I've been on a few boards like CTIX where investors were talking about how they would spend their money.  The "man toys" usually arrive in the form of fancy sports cars and most of the time they mention exotic Italian super cars.

I like a nice motorcycle, but a car just keeps me out of the rain.  Still drive a 12 yr old Impala, catch a lot of flack from my buds, but I like the darn thing, it's roomy, and I get a lot of laughs when I refer to it as my "chick magnet".

Leaving the golf course Wed, I passed a Mercedes in the parking lot that blew my mind.  It looked like a refined Viper in the hood area and a bit of the new Camaro in the rear, and the total look was crazy good.  Turned out to be owned by my buddy, a Mercedes SLS AMG, 500+ horsepower, 2 seater, gull wing opening doors, and gorgeous in every way.  Costs over $200K.  Glad he is enjoying his money.  Nice to see someone enjoying the fruits of his labors; not for me but sure is a beautiful car.
