Yep, they're flashers -- flashing their money and themselves for 15 seconds of fame.  On the other hand, it's their money.  I find it very amusing.

My prediction is that BJ will grow to the point that it implodes, much like NCC (National Computer Conference) and COMDEX.  The type of rich guys who frequent BJ have short attention spans (not to mention a shortness of a certain body part) and they will eventually tire of the BJ game and move on to something else.

Something one of these guys said on camera sums it all up, "I don't want to own the cars, I just want to buy and sell them."
