ParticipantI think you should vest as “happyrenter…or not so much.”
November 6, 2010 at 7:08 AM in reply to: OT: Doing business with chinese people who are superstitious #627565Participant[quote=flu]464 hmmm. I can see why she would not want that…
“4” sounds like dead…
“6” sounds like again…translated: dead, again and again.
I guess she’ll be picking 168, 868, or 888[/quote]
Yeah, she’d pick one of those if she had a choice. Our choices were even numbers from 452 to 466. She picked 462, which kind of surprised me. I thought she’d pick 458. Why do you suppose she picked 462, flu? She’s kind of being vague about it.

Participant[quote=flu]Not true. I think there will always be a market for unique, limited run classics. Just go checkout Barrett Jackson auctions…

Yeah, they sell like crazy and for crazy prices at BJ. But if the guys buying the classics at BJ are all in their 60’s and ’70s, then permabear’s point is made. They’re not going to be around forever, and who will show up at BJ to buy those classics when they’re gone?
Count all the pre-1970 American cars you see on the road in the next couple months. I’ll bet that 90 percent of them are driven by guys over 55. I noticed that after I bought my firebird. (I’m 49, but my dad had a ’67 firebird when I was a kid, so my nostalgia goes to an earlier age than most.)

November 5, 2010 at 5:48 PM in reply to: OT: Doing business with chinese people who are superstitious #627563ParticipantMy wife almost didn’t want to buy our house because of the street number (it ended in 464). So I checked, and we can get it changed quite easily (and we will change it).
A rare and beautiful house, but she might have passed on it if we couldn’t get the street number changed.
