That’s 10 million US dollars from what I’ve gathered, for a car? :eek: That’s a damned expensive vehicle I’d say. I bet the US gov paid a lot more than that for their first Hummer though. 😉 ---

BTW Thanks **m/b** I see you beat me to it. I found the numbers from a settlement in the news regarding Clint Eastwood. It was for the same amount. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/click/rss/1.0/-/1/hi/entertainment/film/3560984.stm](http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/click/rss/1.0/-/1/hi/entertainment/film/3560984.stm) It seems that an author wrote a book and was held liable for something he wrote about Eastwood. Said he beat his wife or some shit. Sorry bout the brief hijack. bb2 ---
