My family has been involved in the automobile business for 45 years. The truth is the owners actually never seem to understand the cyclical nature of the business they're involved in year after year. Many do indeed live a lavish lifestyle.Thats the nature of the car business. It's a tough business, long hours, no weekends. It sucks! My grandfather( Not in the car business) used to say: If you keep making the same mistake over and over again, you will have learned to do one thing well. That pretty much sums it up.
