say MMike ... what does a heli-chopter like this go for?
That particular one is a modified 212. It's now a single engine. Done on an STC so it's not a brand new machine. (though it has that new helicopter smell) So it's about $4M I think. But a new 412 right off the line at Mirabel would be about twice that) depending on what options you put on it.

Oh an get this. I work for the wrong branch of my company.

The big boss at an affiliate company based in So-Cal.....out of gratitude to a dozen or so of his employees, he rented a bunch of exotic cars with a driving instructor and took them out for a day in the desert to drive around at 130mph.

there was a Lamborghini of some sort, and Ferrari F430(?), an Alfa, a Maserati, A Mercedes Mclaren SLK, an Audi S8....and two more I can't recall....there was no Porsche though.

But yeah, they each ot to drive them for an hour or so.
