Paid cash for it when he graduated from college and just hasn't seen a need to move. He owns homes a LOT nicer that he rents out. He also owns trailers he rents out for $90 a week and said most of the tenants have nicer cars than him.

Now talk to him about clothes, electronics and food - THAT'S where his money goes. And he has a bit saved up ;) He closed his business back in 03 and has been retired since. 40 years old now.
