My '73 RS makes a great daily driver but perhaps it is time to sell. I have never driven a 356 Speedster with a four-cam engine. Hmm. Perhaps I will go shopping.

Wanna know what Boomers DON'T do?
Boomers DON'T link you to a paywall page, and Boomers DON'T post oversized images that break the forum frames.

Ehem.

Maybe because the title of the article is, "Here’s How Bored Rich People Are Spending Their Extra Cash?"

Yes, he said they're bored in the title of the thread. I just want to know why he thinks they're bored.

It's the title of the article, he's simply repeating it in the thread title. He includes a link to the article, did you read it? Whether or not they are bored, who gives a schit...they are boring, 100%.

To be fair, that's an obsession of yours as well. It's one of the 5 things you repeat here continually. Other people's supposed interest in "the price of stuff."

It is an article about the "price of stuff" going bonkers during the pandemic. Love it or hate it, that's what it is.

Only boring people can become bored.

Usually they are the type who knows the price of everything yet never know the true value of anything..

The only thing worse is people who communicate with cliche's.

sugarwood's threads often appear benign in the beginning and then he will leverage someone's imperfect commentary and beat the living shiet out of them 20 posts in. Folks kind of remember that.

Maybe you should keep up with current events.

He's a troll the same as you.
