$25,000 for a story and a piece of rusty van, man people are really hard up for entertainment and material things to collect! Now they will have to build a $100,000 building to preserve it in! No wait Mike has that in Nashville!

The 36 million millionaires out there, who own half the world's wealth, need things to buy to signal their wealth to each other and the rest of us.

And good thing or none of it would trickle down

living your life to collect money does not appeal to me. But the van is pretty cool although I was never a fan.
THANK YOU CYNDI FOR POSTING THAT

I know several and they are buying things they want and to make their lives easier.

This is just another example of putting the wealthy down. Same as putting the people down who have large RVs. Why do you care? Good for them if they buy something to make them happy. Why criticize

There was no value judgement in my statement.

Spend your wealth as you like, nothing wrong with signaling your wealth for social status purposes.

Hey, rust is 'IN' nowdays...


Pretty cool tho....

I don't collect things, but I have to say, that is cool. I hope it is kept in some sort of rock and roll museum.

Very cool old rock and roll van which served it’s purpose well. Got them penniless Aerosmith boys to and from and was a place to crash when they couldn’t find their way home.

I’m sure the Aerosmith “good old days” memories flowed when they discovered ithe old rust bucket. From such humble beginnings. Gotta love it.

Thanks for sharing!
