1. From the OP on Rennlist:

as for my niece, when she approach me and my wife and told us that she wanted to be the donor, we asked her, are you sure? She said uncle Rudy , the LORD spoke to me clearly and told me I was to do this, so YES I want to do it, and one more thing, I DON'T WANT NOTHING IN RETURN please, heck she wouldn't even let me pay for her GAS, she will drive 1 1/2 hrs one way for every DR visit, and I think there was a total of 10 visits for ALL the tests that had to be done , she has a BIG heart but if she ever needs anything I will be there for HER.

2. Jobs are the best way to help others. Think about how many jobs are involved with maintaining and running a fleet of 15plus-year-old cars: mechanics, parts manufacturers, parts suppliers, oil and fuel producers, petrol stations, suppliers of car care products, insurance agent, dept of motor vehicles.

You can't be serious?

yep, frankly I don't get the whole thing, above all why not getting back the fantastic supercars he had before and swap them with a fleet of Beetles?

On a serious note, air cooled Porsches are the best.

Although I can't resist the passion for the Bertone from Alfa Romeo

Huh?
Someones life was saved by another one, and to make that up he starts collecting 911's?
That's greed, nothing else.

What if he entered the drug business, just think of all the jobs; coke farmer, the people involved in trafficking, the bribed cops and the dealers on the streets - sooo many jobs!
A true success story! A true demonstration of love!

What is your point?
(It's not like I cared what he does with his money, for all I care he can use $100 bills to light Havannas)

I think BaronWasteland's judgement is a bit blinded by his passion for Porsches

Do any drug dealers or coke farmers or drug smugglers have retirement plans and medical insurance plans? If not, they're not really jobs.

My point is that when people, like the ones who buy a fleet of 911's, spend their money freely in the legitimate market place, it supports jobs (in the case of Porsche parts, service, oil and fuel -- good jobs), and those jobs pay good wages and medical insurance benefits. Many of those jobs will be in his local community.

Thanks for asking, I'm glad you're getting some free education on the benefits of a free market economy!

Are you serious 2.0?
Are you telling me that consumption creates jobs? Unfriggin-believable!
Money always works, almost always creates jobs - only if you keep it under pillow it won't.
Logically it doesn't matter what he does with money, as long as it's invested.
And just to p-o you a bit more - what he did it the worst kind of spending, Porsches are imports, ergo that money leaves the country and adds to your trade deficit. Smart move, lol.

You are sure you got some?
My education cost way more than his car collection, wasn't paid by the gov. either. I dont think it was worth it, but anyway.

So he got his own mechanic, which is his full time employee with insurance coverage?
All the others too?
