he didn't ask for an opinion, and frankly he can spend his money how he wants, thats the coolest part of it being "his". IMHO

The heck with the text; check out the signature under the names. What the heck is up with "Owned?" Do cars pee on each other nowadays? Steam jobs?

That was probably his upper radiator hose cutting loose and blowing coolant out the "Ram Air" hood scoops....

I'd be embarassed.

Idiot, I knew a guy just like him. This guys parents were killed in a horrific car accident and he inherited $800,000.00. First thing he did was drop out of school, buy an M5, like 3 motorcycles and had a B*tch on each arm everytime I saw him. Bottom line..within a year and a half he was selling his then ragged out M5 and 2 of the bikes for beer money and was working at Burger King.

Yeah, but I bet he had one hell of a time for 18 months!

Yea his house is paid off and he owns those cars and he only dates supermodels and he always beats the stock market and he struck gold in his back yard when his oil well gushed. You want to meet people like that go to any stock market chat room in any online service. They all live charmed lives.

I have a client, his Dad gave him a cheque for one million dollars for Christmas last year. (and all his other kids got the same too)
Sad part; it won't make one bit of difference to this guys life style, not one bit!

You know the saying....... "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence!"
Fact is........ If you take care of the other grass the same way as you've been taking care of your own, it'll just be a matter of time until it's brown too!

People become rich (and stay rich) because of one thing..... they spend less than they make.

2 cents. What the heck?

Every once in a while guys like this crop up: they're smack in the middle between Labron James and MC Hammer.

He's probably 18 years old, or at least he thinks like he's 18.

Can you people spell sour grapes? Leave him alone, and everybody else whose entirely personal acts you Calvinists disapproved of.

Well, I think he's a bit of a bonehead for spending all the money. He could have invested some for when his Hummer is worth $10k and the turbo needs work...

Personally, it's the gloating tone I disapprove of. Take a tone like his, and he's just asking for sentiments such as ours.

Other than that, who cares? Maybe he'll buy some parts from Wayne.

Maybe he'll buy some animation from us.

Oh, wait: he's flat broke. Well, that's a problem...

A Bad Idea

I'm not going to rain on his parade too much. I can understand spending the money; it might be a once-in-a-lifetime oppurtunity for him to buy cars like that.

I do have some doubts, though, that he'll be able to afford maintenance on them. With the income he describes, will he be able to afford to take care of them if some major issue comes up? That would sure worry me...
