Cool Who said money can't buy happiness ?



Spotted a few blocks from the Bozo Circus tent... Damn. It looks even better for real than in the magazines ! I snapped this too late, a few minutes before there was a baby lambo parked next to it !

Like I said...money helps ! A bit show-off'ish, but why not..

Don't you know that the saying "Money can't buy happiness" was created by the rich so that the poor won't envy them?

I think Bozo needs to move to a better part of town.

I believe in the adage that money can't buy happiness. But as I told my mom, I can be a lot more comfortable being miserable rich than poor.

If money can't buy happiness, it just means you don't have enough money.

My heart stopped for a second. What a beautiful machine. I also had seen one at our local NJ dealership (Ray Catena) and could not stop taking my eyes off it.

For those who are reckless and free wheeling, the car will likely never depreciate and you could get a 10 year baloon loan and the monthly can cost less than you think. Unfortunately, I am too conservative to take that approach. But fun to dream --- right?

AFAIK, this guy who shall remain nameless to protect the filthy rich, also owns an Enzo (seen it at a local retaurant, Idislike its looks even more in person but it does have presence), has another on order, a Cayenne turbo, a GT2 & couple older Ferraris (360 spider and 355 I think). Also a Maserati and a Rolls Royce Phantom (the square one). That's the ones I've seen on a regular basis... There was a vanquish too but that came and went. Yesterday was car washing day ;-)

Well, why not, if I could, I would too ;-) I might be a tad more discrete about it for fear of attracting undue attention from bad people (or the IRS), but hey...

An old boss of mine used to say, "I've been rich and I've been poor. Rich is better."

Or my favorite, when Ben Affleck said in "Boiler Room" as he slid the keys to his 355 across the table, "They say money can't buy happiness. Look at f$ckin' smile across my face."

You think they might consider adopting me??? While I am "older", I don't stay out late, won't bring any "wild women" into their house and generally I'm able to fend for myself for dinner (there IS a local Dominos, right??).

This is a "one time" offer only....

I have a feeling that is NOT going to help your cause.

John,

Sorry Pal but you have had enough luck lately... First you find a gorgeous 993 for the price of a nice mid 80s carrera, then lightning strikes again and your story appears in this month's Christophorus! Next thing I know you might just win the lottery.... ;-)

Hmmm..... I mean that only in the "figurative" sense..
