Do not watch this video!!

Unless, of course, you can make at least one of the following statements:

1. I want to be bored to tears for the first 3 minutes, watching a sports car make its grand entrance (inch-by-inch) to the vanity plate auction in the United Arab Emirates.
2. I’d love to listen to a lot of arabic hollering and shouting, along with loud background music that inexplicably sounds like it came from Riverdance.
3. I can’t wait to see the winner (along with his young & impressionable son) hold up the prestigious plate that displays a single numeral….that plate is definitely worth fourteen million dollars!
4. I’m confident that I can watch this video without getting angry about the eighty bucks I just put in my gas tank.  Again.

 You can read the full story at WallStreetJournal.com.  I especially enjoyed this quote from the article:

“Everyone has a nice watch, a nice car,” says Abdullah Al-Mannaei, organizer of the city government’s monthly auction of desirable numbers. “It’s not enough to just have a Ferrari anymore.”

You know, I was just thinking that last night.

Gary Cooper is furious and nearly maniacal over high gas prices….watch this video of Gary at DailyPress.com and you can just hear the rage in his voice.

I hope he regains his composure soon.
