The "Truly Rich" dont drive…They are driven. The "wealthy" drive pretty subdued whips most of the time. The "Noveau Riche" drive all the flash and blingmobiles….Purple Lambo's, Screaming Yellow Ferarri's…etc. Sometimes really wealthy people do drive flash-mobiles too, depends on their M.O. Some very rich people WANT and must have the attention that goes with the Yellow Ferarri.
And then there's guy's like me, I generally dont car what anybody really thinks, I drive a new black Escalade with the big wheels. I put up with the occaisional "Stink Eye" I get from the electric car toyota Prius/john kerry bumper sticker types at red lights, everytime I see one of those, it reminds me to thank them for me being able to burn up their fair share of gas that they wont be needing…LOL……The "Slade" handles about 10 times better than my previous Denali and contains at least a whole forest of "Plastic colored faux wood"
I imagine an entire South American PLASTIC rain forest was demolished just for my dash board. As it should be. I also love the smell of leather.
I am a car guy. Proud of it too. I know what a fun experience driving a well designed, superior performance automobile is like and truly enjoy it, much like some of my other friends enjoy dining and blowing a ton of money on "over the top dinners" at fancy restaruants.
Memories of lifes experiences are all you get to take with you to your deathbed. Dont ever fool yourselves into thinking otherwise.
I would feel horrible if I drove a 4 cyl. Camry and died with 4-1/2 million in the bank. I wont have to worry about that though, Iam going to run out of money, idea's, Pro V1 golf balls, surf wax, gasoline, cigarettes, vision and viagra all at the same time in about 35 years or so if all goes according to plan. LOL !!! Life is not that serious for me, Iam trying to enjoy myself now, this country is doomed and we have a 7 billion person problem in the world…I see no easy way out. So ? Enjoy the ride Amigo's
