I would have to think about that for about..ok done. Deal.

I guess the big question is whether or not the GF is cool with it? Is he just asking her to go with him, or is he expecting perks? Seriously though, when else is an popportunity like this going to surface?

ps: Let me add...If she wanted to do it (in exchange for nothing), that'd be different...but to me it's a form of....well you know.

Your asking for it.

But then again girlfriends are temporary. A drive in an Enzo is for life. Motion you crack me up! Seriously, you should sit down and write a book.

Jeezus, Richard, are you dating Natalie Portman???

I cannot imagine someone throwing you the keys to his ~$1 million, 200mph Enzo for a weekend of tire boiling in exchange for beard service from your girl. A guy can rent a 10.5 chick, (w/o happy ending), in L.A. for an evening for probably a couple hundred bucks, or free if she wants to be seen at the premiere.

This dude must be fuchin major loser if he is that rich and can't get an "exchange of using each other" date for a premiere.

That said, absolutely do it!! I'd even let him bang her, if she was my girl. I'd put a lot more wear and tear on his car than he would put on her, I'll guarantee you that!!

Let's have a gang-bang of that car if he does it, aight? Call me for sure!

is she one of those stupid, but pretty types?

If she needs to be protected from this guy, then there's your answer.

If she can hold her own, and wants to do the favor, then sounds fine.

If your not sure . . one way to find out.

I'm with Dennis on this one. Dude has to be a major looser to have to trade for someone else's arm candy. I'm far from the jealous or possesive type but I would find it insulting if someone thought I could be tempted by thier toy's over my own. Let the looser spend the evening alone pounding his pud thinking about his Enzo and not your girl.

You keep the car for the weekend....it doens't say how long he's keeping your girl...

This girl must be special, you changed your "status" twice this week.

Then again...Paul has a point...

The only question in my mind would be "does it come with a full tank of gas?"

Look on the bright side - even if you totalled the car, it wouldn't be as expensive as some of the "wife experiments" on this board have been.

(if it flies, floats, or ****s, lease it)

I don't get it - why's he compensating you when she's doing the work? You're not married or anything, right? It all sounds very tribal to me....

I just re-read your post and realized it's HER friends that have "asked" her to participate. That just sounds strange to me. Almost as if he didn't have the balls to make the offer himself, or he knew it was such a spineless thing to offer he wanted to save himself the humiliation. I think I'd have to ask myself what kind of friends does your g/f have?? Heidi Fleiss comes to mind.

the older rich guy is her friend? then it is up to her to go or not. you dont own her, (right?). so look at the enzo as something to do, while she is busy. let's call it a "diversion". act like the crazy jealous type, you might get use of the private jet.

damn dude, write that book! i will be a proof-reader for free. you are definately my hero....

Its just a respect issue, her friend doesn't want to cross that line, so he is asking permission. Richard, if she wants and you have no major objections and its just a show/movie premier, then why not. If it gets into indecent proposal type stuff then forget it.

Yeah, I'd also like to pre-order your book.

Maybe you and Wayne could work out a partnership and write one together.

This makes no sense to me, she is the one who should get to drive the Enzo for a weekend. I think Richard is just pulling our leg. Great OT discussion though!

For you folks who don't live in Southern Cal, I have to paint you a picture: Any guy who owns a $1M car and can't score an armpiece for a premiere must look like something that you'd find in the morgue. You can rent/buy/lease/whatever more goodlooking whores here than you can possibly imagine.

I am not putting Richard's GF in this catagory, maybe she wants to do him a favor or just see the film(?) Maybe he is an interesting guy? Not likely. I'm telling you, if looks are all that you require in a woman, almost anyone w/ a little $$ can have that in this part of the world. And people are not stupid, nobody is going to think that Mr. dickless Ferrari owner hooked himself a babe against all studly competition.

This is a wierd situation, but Richard is the world's magnet for unique opportunties, good and bad.

Richard are you sure this not a test of some sort, I would approach with caution.
