My wife and I saw this last night. She knew the answer right off the bat because she has been listening to me talk about waiting on a Daytona for years. I did finally get a 116500LN this year after 4 years of waiting. I guess I did good compared to what Jeopardy was quoted.

Category was "Never Enough".

Clue was worth "$1200".

Seems they are off by a bit on price...for MSRP and Gray market.

10 years? I've been waiting at least that long and no dealer will sell me a Daytona.

A: What is an Authorized Dealer's List.
