I don't think the fuel gauge in his tractor goes all the way to full.

But, mebbe that's why Water-S is so rich...because he dabbles in so many things?


Multi-talented people are often rich, perhaps?

Not that I really care, but someone that has $10 Million dollars in assets could at least afford to roll in a better car than an Accord with 300k miles.

If your worth 10mil(I know plenty of people who have that and a whole lot more) a $50k car is not really a stretch to get. I have a friend who is worth maybe 5mil and he bought a 360 modena spider and didn't have to think where he was going to get the money from.

The other things water-s is mentioning, tractor, new rig... that's equipment for the business, that shouldn't effect your cash flow much - not to mention as a farmer your not paying tax on any of it which makes it that much easier.

At $10MM an investment in US Treasury bonds would earn > $505K per year. It would make sense to liquidate everything and invest in municipal bonds if you had that much.

it's called a "work car." if someone plows into it at work. I don't give a shit. yes I could go out and buy a new Accord but I'm not gonna because I'm not driving a brand new car to work.

I kick a lot of my personal money I make on the farm back into the farm. I can write a lot of it off.
I don't buy the stuff so much for need but to lower our tax bracket on the farm and myself.

Show me some pics or you are done.
Look up on Mapquest. DeWeese Rd. in Shelby County, Ohio. that's cause my family owns all the ground clear around it. 10 million won't begin to buy all the land in Shelby County.

Whatever floats your boat. BTW, what do you mean by "work car"? Do you just drive it to work or haul hay and farm stuff in it?

all i do is drive it to work, I might go pick up small parts in with it. If i get mud on the interior I don't give a crap.
like when I get the Z4 M i'll probably sell this one to the junkyard.

Sidney's population about 25-30,000 people(estimate) they got 2 fire stations. 1 downtown where I was trained. That's the main one. the little one out on vandermark rd near where I work

Exactly my point. IMO water is a pathalogical liar. Shit, I even wonder if he was ever married or even had a kid!
His refusal to post pics of said family and Gold Wing and all the other bullshit really makes a guy wonder.
