Of course, this is a clinical narcissistic who expects to be considered a hero for flipping cars acquired from widows

Also, luckily for me those that opinion's matter like what I do finding old Porsches, posted on my instagram this morning.

Thanks to all of you who are trying to be part of the solution. As a leader of a hospital based internal medicine practice, I, and my team of 26 other docs thank you. I completely agree with the comment made that the lack of adequate supplies for first responders and health care workers is a monumental failure of our society. Hopefully when the dust settles, the corporate decision makers responsible for this will come to light and be shamed and punished for the greed that has led to this shortage in PPE and hospital supplies. When the practice of corporate medicine became the norm in our country and MBAs were given more importance than MDs and DOs, we all knew what it would eventually lead to: the bottom line being more important than a flat line. I have been spending the last month trying to help my docs who have no masks or gowns when walking in to high risk patient rooms. I am doing the only thing I can to protect them: getting them out of those rooms to practice medicine via an iPad to potentially save them from exposure and possible severe illness or death. In the process we are saving tons of PPE that can now be repurposed for use by the people in the direct line of fire: nurses, ER docs, and Anesthesiologists who are voluntarily taking call to intubate crashing patients. I encourage all of you to practice strict social distancing, because that is the ONE thing that we do have control over to slow the spread of the virus and therefore lower the mortality rate. The down side of strict social distancing is that it will draw out this crisis for an even longer period of time, but the alternative is a much scarier and more devastating scenario. Thank you for everything you guys are doing to help. Every little bit makes a difference, and knowing that we are all on the same team regardless of our political differences is refreshing. I agree everyone should make more road trips and learn more about each other.......but we should wait a year or so before starting that practice. Stay safe.

How about he is using the platform no different than Jerry Lewis used television to help spur the competitive nature of humans. Maybe by showing us what he has done it will cause others to reflect on what they have not done and it will encourage others to do what they can. I apologize to the rest of the community if this was said already but it seems that you are still going on about it.

Speaking of greed, report these flipper "entrepreneur" types if you know any.

... and these are the bit players when there's literally billions for the taking here.

No joke.

It’s not just that most Americans never leave America. Most Americans never visit more than 3 states their wholes lives. Kind of explains just how divided we have become as a nation. Someone in the Midwest or south really has no actual understanding of a Coastal person and vice versa, beyond what they see on their TV. We could use more of the good old fashioned road trip in this country.

If you get a second honeymoon without the kids, you and your wife are always welcome like Nicky. Second thought, bring the kids if you can, as long as you can come on my long holiday seasons. If I were to meet the M2 in my lifetime personally, I thought it might be in CO on travel or at Toby's manor in CA. In Japan would also be a pleasure and not out of the question at all.

Thanks Bernie. Definitely not planning any travel without the kids the next 15 years or so. We feel strongly feel about what Nick was saying; travel is educational. We want our girls to see the world and see the difference among people.

Europe will most likely be where they see first. When my dad retired, before they moved back to the States, they bought an apt in Berlin. We’ve got a base of operations there with many great cities within a 1 day train ride away. And I’ve never seen the Alps. As a climber, Chamonix and Zermatt are must visits. I will likely pay a guide while they shop and eat. Though my elder is into it. She might want to climb too.

Been to Chamonix. It was October so no snow in the village. 3/4 of the way up the mountain these nutzoid para-gliders were laying out their equipment on a 20 degree slope and then running off the edge, 7000 feet up! 45 minutes to glide down.
Oh, and they die fairly regularly. Good times.

Place was beautiful though. I went all the way up, wifey wouldn't go. On the way we went through a 7 mile tunnel to get there. Toll was $40!

Traveling is cool. Won't be doing any of that anytime soon. I can't even see picking up a menu or sleeping in a hotel again until this thing is way, way over. And there's no reason to think it won't be back year after year. It's not like there's an expiration date.
