If Bernanke is driving a Focus..how much money is enough to want too buy something better than a Focus????? Don't get me wrong, they are decent, but there mus come a time when you want something fun to drive on the weekends or am I bonkers??? ..the renting thing I can see. But who wouldn't want their own land to grow veggies!!!?? That's what I want!.. and another 1980's (or late 70's Porsche) .. the 944 didn't cut it..time for a 911.
You would think Ben could afford to drive a better car - whether its true or not i cannot say - seemed a bit unbelievable to me too ... Bernanke used to help roll the Torah scrolls in his local synagogue.... make of that what ye will.
Why would you own a nice car when you get chauffeur driven everywhere, in a luxury car, probably with a body guard as well? You think the head of the biggest criminal organisation in the history of the world (officially) can just cruise around with the top down in a "look at me" car? He'd get about as far as JFK did.
