You missed Frank Lopez's lesson to Tony Montana in Scarface...
Frank Lopez: Hey, Tony. Remember when I told you when you first started
working for me, the guys that last in this business, are the guys who fly
straight. Low-key, quiet. But the guys who want it all, chicas, champagne,
flash... they don't last.
How long do you think he would avoid a face to face IRS audit if he was
leasing (and deducting) a S600 V12 Biturbo? My old boss drives a Subaru
Outback... He has to be pulling in 500 large consulting.
Remember don't underestimate the OTHER GUY'S GREED. And for consultants the
"OTHER GUY" is the IRS... and we know how greedy they are. They could care
if a pregnant woman walks to work, let alone can deduct her car.
LOL

I like the "MR. TCP/IP" license plate.
I remember Brian Dennis' email about the owner of the California license
plate "CCIE" had it on ebay for $23.5K!! Wonder if it ever sold?

There's a guy in a Jeep Comanche that I see every so often on my way to work
that has the VA license plate "CCIE SEC" - which sucks for me since my
initials are 'SEC'. My suspicion is more that he has a Security IE than
that he has the same initials.
The only Networking vanity plate that didn't make sense to me was in
Georgia, I once saw a license plate "LAN-WAN". The guy was driving a real
beater of a car, so, if he was Mr. LAN-WAN, he wasn't charging that much!
