He took his SUV to the Florida Auto Mall on I-95 which is a strip of dealerships all side by side. We stopped at the Ford place and while we were waiting for the SUV to get fixed a showroom salesman walked by and my friend, who doesn't broadcast that he's a multi millionaire, asked him if they had anything nice on the floor and the salesman replied, " No, but they got some really nice ones next door at Dodge ". My friend looked at me and said " well then lets go next door ".
He then buys the nicest Dodge truck they had on the lot. We go back to the Ford place and get all are stuff out of the Expedition and transfer it over to the new truck while the salesman that dissed us watched. My friend gave him the thumbs up and said " you were right, they do have nicer vehicles over at the Dodge place ". The look on everyone there was priceless. We left the Ford at the Dodge dealership because they were kind enough to let us keep it there until we picked it up on the way back after the race.

Awesome.
My uncle's best friend owns a pretty successful company that does all of the tubing in bank systems(it's not nationwide - it's around here only), plus does some sort of high tech plumbing deal with a few big hospitals locally. Anyway, the guy is always dirty as hell, wears Levi's with grease stains and holes everywhere.. basically looks like he just left the unemployment line. He also owns half of the county next to here and he's only 41. During hunting season, we always go somewhere a good distance away in Arkansas.. we stop in Fayetteville. Always funny to see a college kid laugh at him or give the "ewww what a skank" look while knowing that he's got millions sitting in the bank. He always says though.. why would I buy 10 nice suits for 10-20k when I could buy an old run down house and turn it into 100k+ in 5 years? He's a bachelor.. never been married, has no kids, does whatever he wants.. but he's still the lead foreman of his company. Works 80 hours + per week on site and pays someone else to do the books and shit. Good man
