[QUOTE="Magnetoman, post: 179322, member: 2806"] The year is 2124 and your current neighbor's great grandson has a rare gasoline ration card, and for some reason wants to own a Vincent. Since few people in 2124 either have ration cards or want old gasoline-powered vehicles, prices haven't kept up with inflation. Still, given that he feels the "need" to own a Vincent, is he more likely to want a bitza ([I]"because the numbers don't make it ride any better"[/I]), or will he spend more to have a matching numbers machine that he can proudly point to? I strongly suspect the latter. Replace 2124 with 2034 and I think the answer will be the same. [/QUOTE]
