No longer, however, including the Royal Yacht, which was pensioned off a decade or so ago.

"$7,000 for an oil change?" Ever work on a mid-engine before?

$7,000 for an oil change? What a cheapskate... for an extra $1000 they could dump the waste oil in the Thames and really get the enviros knickers in a knot.

This is the least offensive thing i’ve heard of a muslim doing lately. Compared to the other things some of his brethren are doing gluttony isn’t that bad!
To: Joe 6-pack
I bet the darn thing has a Wankel in it, too.

Well, that was silly. The guy flies his car 6500 miles for an oil change that's only gonna last him 3000? By the time he flies it back it'll need another change. Now where in Saudi Arabia are you gonna get any oil?
He needs a smart guy like me to figure this stuff out for him. I got some room in my garage, too. Put some nekkid lady mudflaps on that bad boy and you'd have a real fashion statement.

Typical rich raghead with no brains.
Coulda flown a master mechanic and tools for half as much without risking damage to the car...
Brains are no longer a prerequsite to wealth.

So if I’m so smart, does that mean I don’t have any chance to be rich?
Ah, never mind. I’m too old to worry about stupid stuff like that any more.

Well, hey, all the oil money he spent on this is $7,000 that won’t be going to some madrassa in Pakistan...and it pisses off the greenies too. It’s a two-fer.

Oh, and
this one too. Geez these people are crazy!

What would be actually funnier is if any of the executives who received the taxpayer's money from AIG used their bonuses paid by the taxpayers to send their Lambroghini to London to get an oil check while those who gave them the heafty bonus are being forced out of their homes as their mortgage is greater than the value of their home with subprime interest rates. You can sure bet that doing it with the taxpayer's money, spending it this way is definately acting as a stimulus for the economy! Giving to the wealthy moves money whereas giving it to those who are in debt will not bring about spending but only hoarding.

Well, this story is not about AIG executives, but rather about an Arab oil sheikh. But, even if it was an AIG executive who had received a bonus, why can’t he do whatever he wants with the money? I spend my money how I want. You spend your money how you want. Let Mr. AIG Moneybags spend his money the way he wants.

$7,000 for an oil change? If you fall for all the add on's at Jiffy Lube, you'd come close.

“I envy this guy! I mean IMAGINE the size of his “carbon footprint.” The thought alone is making me drool.”
Remember the thread awhile ago that had a link to some “Earth Watch Carbon Footprint” thing. You type in your particulars (3 cars, 4 bedroom house, etc.) and at the end it says something like :”Congratulations - if everyone lived like you the earth could not support life in 16 years” or something.
FReepers were getting on there and going “Hey - I got 8 years.” “Bah - amateur I've got 2.5 years!” This sheik would probably get a “score” of 6 minutes or something!
