\"\"The other night I was watching a rerun of one of my favorite guy shows, Chasing Classic Cars<\/a>.\u00a0 The host, Wayne Carrini<\/a>, was helping some dude put together a world-class collection of desirable high-dollar cars: a rare Ferrari, an Auburn boat-tailed Speedster, a Mercedes-Benz 300SL.\u00a0 Although the show didn’t divulge any biographical details, we in the TV audience saw quite a bit of Wayne’s client, a man who appeared to be in his early 50s … filthy rich, of course, and of the flaunting variety.<\/p>\n

I normally never think about the rich people behind the collector car hobby, but here one was, right in front of me.\u00a0 And it hit me that the dude I was watching on TV was probably one of those Wall Street hedge fund managers who, back in 2008, emptied out my 401K.\u00a0 Suddenly I had a whole new take on Chasing Classic Cars.<\/p>\n

Will I quit watching my favorite guy show?\u00a0 No, but from now on I’ll be taking vicarious pleasure every time Wayne lightens some rich jerk’s wallet.<\/p>\n
