    I'm sure you'll understand that this has lead to some doubts about some claims.
    NOBODY, who says they own a car says the full name and then the colour afterwards.

    Spending money stupidly = prestige

    Reminds me of an Acura Ad when the brand was first introduced. These guys are standing on a golf course bragging about how much money they just dropped on their BMWs and Mercedes'. Then one guy hits a hole-in-one, and says, I didn't spend anything on repairs on my Acura. To that the others just look at each other as if they were fools.

    Or you could just buy a used 911 and service it yourself.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    Or you could buy American muscle, and I'm not talking about the 2005 mustang, I mean the good old stuff. The stuff that only requires a wrench to fix. It's too bad they don't build them like that anymore. With those cars you could get into the engine from every angel, but new cars are impossible because everything is so compacted and tucked away under the hood. Of course new cars have their benefits of breaking less often, but the constant fixing was part of what made a musclecar a musclecar. Just the fact that most people could do the small stuff themselves was good.

    Not always. The small cars with big blocks were a bit tough.

    Fair enough, but compared to most of the new stuff out there?

    there both awsome cars. if you guys want a ferrari you have to work hard to acheive your goals thats what i did and my dreams came ture. but the service is where you pay a lot of money.
    Shit. I never thought of it that way. I'll copy this wisdom down in my diary and look at it every day until I can lord my two Ferraris over everybody.

    In teh sprit of beeing just like billabong, who, again, has two ferrari's i'l even start writing lik him so when my ferrari's rol off the back of the truck, i'll be abel to make my X to sighn for them sinc i'll be the wurld's second funktshunally illeiteret bilioneair.

    A simple Egg Nogg test will end the berating at any time, and I think I speak for everybody when I say we'd all be adequately impressed if you claimed one brand-new Ferrari.

    I'd be impressed even if it turns out he only has a 308.

    For your information, Thomas Magnum "only" had a 308.

    Owning a ratty old 308 that hits on all eight cylinders, however briefly, is on on my life's "to do" list.

    To accomplish this goal, I will strive to work hard and keep my head up and my feet on the ground. By doing this, and using plenty of perseverance in times of trouble, I will accomplish my life's goal of owning a Ferrari by overcoming obstacles and dealing with problems by using my perseverance to find a solution and you can too.

    I'm loving this Aussie swamp kid. Where can we get more like him?
