I used to think drag racing was a money pit

these guys throw so much money at their boats & could total the thing on its first outing..... how's about asking how much a FA18 canopy costs

oh sorry they need 2

one of them is so rich, he has his own private helicopter equiped with rescuers and 1st aid gear.
it follow right behind him, if it crashers theres divers and ppl on hand in an instant.
