Disagree with initial topic...agree with Techweenie's comment
...Ive made a ton of jack over the past several years and everything is the same as it was when I was tending bar and going to school (actually I had a lot more women back in those days lol) except one thing that has improved: Money buys Time and Freedom. Any improvements in a persons social life is more likely due to an improved self-image that has been created in their minds based on the new found jack. True self-actualization however, is based on non material things...but if the money helps you get there then more power to you. |

I have a nice enough stable yet go out on dates with my 16 year old Honda station wagon. If a girl lasts 2-3 dates in the Honda then she might get a ride in one of the nice cars but not before. If she lasts in the Honda then I know that she likes me for me, not my money or toys. Your flashing the 512 is like waving flags at girls and others. They now think you are worth a lot of money and they want that and not your personality. The people who were not friends with you before now either want a ride (or drive) the nice cars and could give a whit about you personally. Take your pick but a real friend, or girlfriend will like you with a moped or whatever, but the hangers on are following you just to get something. When you really need a friend, they will disappear, and leave you with the people who really care about you. Your choice...

My previous DD was a 1983 Subaru BRAT. My wife met me, and didn't know I also had the Porsche for a few weeks after we met. I most definately agree with Joeaksa in that regard.
If you have a flashy car so that other people will know you have money you are: 1. Most likely a tool-shed anyway 2. Likely to attract the wrong people for the wrong reasons In closing, if you don't want those people around don't tolerate or encourage them. Micah

Do not pass go, do not collect $200. I make good money for my age. There is a reason I usually wear ripped jeans and a beat up Carhart.
