I agree, that's why you really have to think about it.

Fountain is fast and good bang for buck.

Donzi is eye candy and fast, but much more pricey.

How about depreciation on either one???

I would say Donzi would hold value better...

Yes, I like the looks, but don't know if there's a dealer around LOTO?

I love the looks of Hustler, but don't think there's a dealer anywhere close, unless we found one newly used and close from private owner.

Plus it's easier to spend someone elses money.

Dad went there last weekend and said he talked to the old lady. I guess she didn't have much, but she informed him she had several on order. I guess an old lady runs the show, like 80+ years old. I asked dad if she knew what she was talking about and he said she sounded pretty sharp. I think she owns a lot of real estate around the LOTO area too.

I went back and looked at those pics again, thought about it and now I can't stop laughing about the bozo the clown deal.

I don't know what to make of that green or the combination of all the colors for that matter.

That's a beauty all right...
