What good is money

Quote from Pension_Admin:

That is one gorgeous car! It got a great design.

Price: $230K
Those Italians know how to design, don't they?
 
Quote from ChkitOut:

I used to be into cars and dream about this one and that one but had kind of an epiphany recently and really don't give a shit about material things that much anymore.

Life really is all about adventure, experiences, love and friendship. People matter, 'things' don't.

You are right. Adventure, experience, love, and friendship are indeed the most important things in life. Without them, no matter how much money we have, we could never have a rich life.

I still like to dream about having material things tho. It keep me motivated, even though I don't really need them. :)
 
Quote from nitro:

Well said and I agree 100%.

I think of these things as experiences too. If I am able to drive a gorgeous car on a trip through Spain say, that is an experience. If I am able to afford taking my friends on a ski trip, that is an experience. If I am able to afford a set of $50k electrostatic speakers so I can listen to my music as if I were listing to it live, that is an experience. If I could own a racehorse, it would add a dimension to my love of the horse races, etc., etc, etc.

But if you couldn't do these things, your life _could_ be just as rich, but possibly not as diverse.


You're correct in that money will enhance whoever it is you are. It's really about who you are at your core. If your core is one of integrity, caring, gratitude, etc. then you will be able to compound those values even further with money, which is a good thing.

Don't get me wrong, money is not bad.


Now having said all that, every time I think there is NO WAY Ferrari can top themselves they do just that.

Can you imagine having to take care of that car? I don't think I would ever let anyone wash it but me! And park it for me? Aahahahaha, zero delta.

Notice this car has door handles. Those Italians know how to treat their women too.
 
That's a pretty cool date nitro.

Here is my fantasy date:

I would take this car

to pick up Diora....

....I'll probably have to wait a bit, since she doesn't seem to be fully dressed yet.

Once she got fully dressed, we'll grab dinner at Canoe.

We'll probably skip dessert, because I got better dessert at home.

Once we are full, we'll head back to my place. We'll go for a little swim in the clothing-optional swimming pool.

The next morning, she'll make me breakfast to show me her appreciation for the fun night.

:D

Note 1: In the event that I am fortunate enough to get married, and my wife (whom I would love very much) finds out about this posting of mine. I want her to know that this is just some silly posting and Diora doesn't mean anything to me.

Note 2: In the event that I somehow got married to Diora, and that she is reading this posting, I want her to know that she is still hot. Also, please see above for my idea of a perfect breakfast.



:cool:
 
Quote from Pension_Admin:

Just curious, what would your dinner conversations with Emily be like?

Nitro: Drives up to Emily's pad in a stunning red Ferrari. Gets out of the car. He is dressed in a black dinner jacket, with an exquisite white shirt and black bow tie, the ends of his shirt capped off with the Pi-symbol shaped cuffs which he hopes his date will pick up on. He rings Emily's doorbell. Ding dong. Emily opens the door. Big smile on her face.

Emily: Hi! Wow you look nice. Come on in. Just gotta put my shoes on. Was it hard to find my place? Hope my directions weren't too bad. I need GPS just to get to the grocery store.

Nitro: (Pleased at how stunning Emily looks, refrains from scanning her body up and down or commenting on her exquisite perfume. But he does scan her face not only because he can't help himself, but because it shows genuine interest. He has never been to her apt, which is filled with interesting African art and a grand piano near a french window overlooking a patio. He doesn't recognize any of the artists (I know, I know, I should have taken an art class) so he moves on to the books and notices the works of Joyce, Faulkner, Jared Diamond, the Joy of Sex (LMAO :p), and a book on forensic science. He assumes the latter is for research for her show. Exotic flowers decorate her sizable dinning room table. Pictures of her family, mostly in black and white adorn her tables and piano. He turns around and sees an Ansel Adams on the wall. Excellent. This is plenty to start a conversation with.)

Nitro: I followed your instructions to the letter. I don't think there is a more efficient way here from there.

Emiliy (from the other room): Help yourself to beer in the fridge, or I left some wine in the decanter for you.

Nitro (notices how neat everything is but sees through a crack on a door that is to her office. It is a disaster. Sigh of relief)

Thanks. I have to control my drinking since I am the designated driver tonight. You on the other hand, can I pour you some wine?

Emily: (Comes out fully dressed now. She saw the car nitro drove up with, and making a joke and smiling) Oh, I can drive us if you get too drunk. (Big smile on her face.)

Nitro (Thinking:No one is driving my car, quickly rebuffs) It's a stick.

Emily: (smiling even harder, but this time with a confidence) All my cars are stick.

Nitro (tongue tied changes the conversation. Absolutely unconditionally she is not driving his car even if he is comatose)

Ok Pension_Admin, you pick it up from here.
