This is not about being overly commited to your car or the chance of winning a
car. This is a once in a lifetime event.

As a hypothetical, Suppose we follow your rational to the point that you win
the car and you are comfortably at home petting you cat. How do you intend
to get the car back to the UK?
Is it at this point that you suddenly find the time to come to the States so
that you can get your prize home?
Would it not be better that you come over here in the first palce, maybe meet
a few people, build some friendships. Perhaps some could even help you get
the car to docks and loaded onto the shipping container.

One would think that the enthisiasts in the UK would be having a similiar
event. Are they?
Is my view of the world getting more interesting now?
