Cars - buy a brand new one for $25,000, roll it off the lot and 10 seconds later it's worth $12,000. Weeeeeeeeeee!

Second is 25' patch cables at best buy. They charge $26 for them. I can go to Graybar and get the same thing for $7.00.

Bastards.

Anything made by french designers.

Luis Vuitton bags? I literally laughed in the face of one of their salespeople when I was in Paris, and my girlfriend wanted to walk around the store.

I ride for free...I don't own any horses, either I do stay at the stable & help with younger kids' riding lessons, though.

Louis XIII. About $1100 - $1200 a bottle but damn good!
I've bought a couple of bottles before.

Warning! You will finish a bottle as soon as you open it!
