I have never owned a Mercedes. I have given them away as gifts.

My birthday is May 24th, but why wait? Christmas is just around the corner!


Good try. There were good financial reasons for the gifts. Let's just say there was a good return on investment.


Merciful heavens!!! Such things can land your posterior in jail, my friend.



Same on you Angela. It had nothing to do with government or politics. One was donated to a hospital foundation who raffled it off. It was the featured item and as result of the PR they got over 20 times what I paid for it. The other was a similar fund raiser. I got a tax right off, but that was the extent of my personal benefit. It was the non-profits who made a killing.

If we could do that for Seti Carlos.
Maybe crowd funding via our Penny Jars? I think I got five bucks to start it.
