CONSPICUOUS CONSUMPTION HAS BILLY MARKS JOINING the Harley club, while Zero's Jon Allie has picked up a customized race-ready go-kart with which he's been spotted making the quick trip from his house to Black Box. Fashions here took longer to change, and the urge to get rid of what one had, simply to accommodate more of the same, only newer, was discouraged by a culture that traditionally frowned on conspicuous consumption and waste.
