Benjamin Choi ~ Helping to give 911 owners everywhere a bad name.

But what do I know, I'm just a lowly 951 owner.

I know a few millionaires that dont drive either ferraris or pcars, just pickup trucks, not the biggest or baddest either, just plain old vanilla pickups.

just because you can dosent mean you have to.

Warren Buffett drives a Lincoln Town Car, or at least he did until he auctioned it off for charity. If you get trapped in a horsepower war, you'll never win. Or, you just may find yourself driving a Corvette.

Huskerbill:

I grew up across the street from a retired mink farmer who drove a pick-up
and was worth + eight figures back in the 70's. He and his wife were the
nicest down to earth couple around and I wish more people were like them.

I know a guy that drives a used, slightly modified Aero 996, walks with a slight Brady like limp due to his super sized d... and has a sweet custom home. He is completely broke ***.
All the neighbors think he's a filthy rich stud.
Poor bastard.
I'm glad not many people are like him.

Conversations like this always put me in mind of that classic joke about the old bull and the young bull....

Well, let's not be too hasty with that nomination. There is still a lot of year left, and these threads seem to embrace their own form of oneupmanship.

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones - that said it would be hilarious to see this pic on the next cover page of "Panorama".

I currently have Black Eyed Peas "My Humps" playing and seeing that picture was just wrong in SOOOO many ways.
