Guy's I think the talk I had with my grandson about money when he said he
did not want to be rich would apply here.
I told him you want to make as much money as you can without hurting
someone.
Why do you think I labored to get my moms car (81 Buick Skyhawk) roadworthy?Any car I could affor to buy 1K, I would have to almost as much (I would not have had to drop gas tank and put a new fuel pump in) to make it road ready, new tires, wipers. oil change, fuel filter, plugs....
I enjoy working on cars that I don't have to work on, I would rather bought you a car that was ready to go.
There is the crux, MONEY, DISPOSABLE INCOME - the definition depends on your economic circle.
I think comes down to the definition of the word 'poser'. First I am not rich, wealthy by money.I own an old Ferrari, Porcshe, have traveled Europe twice, Australia,Tahati, New Zealand, Hawaii(5 times) Bahamas(5 times) Took European delivery of my Porsche. Owned a Cessna 150 Aerobat, sailed in a Hobie 18 nationals and retired at 54. So I have had a Rich life.
How did putting my grandchildren in cars become my problem (daughters husband left - and filed bankruptcy ). My grandson pays for his gas and insurance from his after school job, just like I did he is not interested in working on cars. I guess there is no point from what is made today, I could only change the oil and plugs in new ones.
But I digress, my wife was upset when we were in Indiapolis for the last USGP dowtown for the Ferrari show when she overheard the 308 described as the 'poor man's Ferrari' . I had to tell her it's true.
We are not rich, we do more than our friends that are rich (over a million $).
I am not a 'poser' don't pretend to be rich, have several pit crew Ferrari watches.
I like real, wheather it be air scoops on a car, or watches, paintings.But to end what I have to say on the subject 'If you think thats to much' YOU DON'T ENOUGH MONEY!
