His posts seemed like something I might expect from an OWS type. I get a lot of attention driving around in my car. Random people come up and talk to me about it. Kids are especially enamored with it. I’ll always let them check it out and have been known to give rides with mom’s permission of course. They get a kick out of it and I like to think that it shows them what a little hard work, responsibility, and education can do for you. When I was kid, I drooled over the stingrays and truly believed that I would never be able to own such a thing as I was quite poor growing up. Well, now I have one and I absolutely love it. I regularly come across jealous types who feel the need to disrespect me and the car too. Someone spit on it once. I know of another vette that had a lit cigarette thrown into it in a parking lot. Some people appreciate its beauty and style, others despise it.
I was similar. I worked while attending college and was able to afford a used '57 Chevy. I bought a new '68 Torino GT and that was the last automobile I owned until a few years ago. Everything else I owned were 4WD pick ups and SUVs. When I finally had some free time and some spending money I started searching for the cars I always had dreamed about owning and driving that wouldn't totally break me.
Because I wasn't in a hurry, wasn't head over heels in love with a certain year or model, I could pick and choose in a timely fashion. The chase is almost as much fun as driving the cars. It is a hobby. My collection now includes a couple of Corvettes, a Jag V-12, a MB 380 SL and a Mustang GT. I've got my eye on a BMW Z3, but haven't come to an agreement on price yet.
Well that's very commendable and the reasons mentioned above as to why these old guys in their 80s spend the wad on some flashy high end cars...They're looking for some attention...
Whatever spins your spokes!
BTW, you seem really angry..
Cheer up!
