The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I bought the second and third Glide lunches ever. 23k and 25k. Everyone that knew me thought I was INSANE to pay that much for lunch. When I did it again the next yer people were genuinely concerned about my mental health. When we showed up the second year the first thing Warren said was "you guys spent all that money again?!"

The following year it was put on eBay and brought over 700k.

I sent Warren a letter saying that despite our enjoyment of the past two years, as deep value investors we need to pass this time.
