WIDGEON13 ,PWD72S...THOSE ARE CALLED RISKS..
Yes living perched above the Pacific Ocean has EXTREME RISKS!
Some of us CRAZY people take huge risks in life and for me it has paid off... BIG TIME!
There are enormous risks like FIRES, FLOODS, EARTHQUAKES ,and even TIDLE WAVES here is Malibu. Every day I put everything I own at risk and some might argue even our lives. But I want to see the Pacific Ocean every morning when I open my eyes and to me it is worth taking the risk!
In 1993 I watched as my home BURNED to the ground along with 350 other homes..We lost everything in our home.. The Malibu Firestorms happen about every ten years...
For the record,
While my home was still on fire I made a call to my Architect and I said "My home is on FIRE start drawing "
3 days later I was the first one at the Planning Dept for a new building permit.. I moved into this house in Sept 1994 only 11 months later!
While most of the Fire Victims sat around crying and complaining. I hit the ground running even before the insurance adjuster called. I did not have the cash on hand to rebuild but I figured I would deal with that issue when it arose..
Now many of you guys like to play it safe and live in flat, safe and boring neighborhoods looking across the stree at homes just like yours but that aint me.
If my home were destroyed again the story would be the exactly same!
Start from scratch and rebuild..
Taking your 911S engine to 8,500 RPM is also a risk that you guys are afraid to try.. I can tell you from experience the 911S motors can take it..
But you will have to take a risk to find out....
PWD72S.."you feel sorry for me"?
I started with NOTHING living in and Apt with Mom and Sis..I worked hard, got lucky and now have a great life, a great woman (of 30 yrs) and 2 great kids (both in major universities).. Oh yeah and 2 great pooches..
I have a dream job... I get paid for driving fast cars.
Most people save up all year to take a 5 day vacation to Paradise..I see Paradise every day...
My two best friends since grade school (over 40 years) also started with absolutely nothing.. One of them shared a one room flat from grade school all through high school with his Dad.
He started his own business 20 years ago and now also owns (free and clear) a home in Malibu with Porsches,Ferraris, Rolls etc in his 2 Garages.
The other is a Lear Jet Pilot who collects vintage aircraft and he is building a Fly-In home with the hanger attached. ( must be something in the LA water)
I travel the world with these guys and their families and we do have alot of fun
Dont feel sorry for me..
