    See what the billionaires drive...

    http://www.forbesautos.com/advice/to...ill_cars_promo

    This is a real eye opener, guys worth billions riding modestly.
    Meanwhile some guys who make $100,000 a year driving the most expensive car they can afford. Something to think about....
    SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

      A lot of rich people are weirdos. I've been to estate sales in multi million dollar homes where the bed was held up by bricks. The only reason these guys don't have expensive ass cars is that it's not something they are interested in. I doubt they have any bling on either.

                      It doesn't. My bed is held up by bricks right now. I also tip 3 cents no matter how much dinner costs because I'm such a thrifty bastard.

                                  That's some form of self motovation you have going on there.

                                          A lot of wealthy people simply don't want people to know how much money they have. It can lead to security issues.

They're probably representative of the general population. Some will buy expensive cars, some won't. There is no right or wrong in either, it's just personal preference.

                                                                                                                              Back in the day a nice car used to be a status symbol. Now it's not; You can finance anything.

                                                                                                                              I've been toying with the idea of buying a Ferrari, and yes, I would have fiance the $200k car. But I just can't do it. My commute is all of five miles; I just can't justify it. I just bought me a new Mustang and before I got plates I got rear ended, and yesterday we discovered someone nailed my wife's truck. I could just imagine how I would feel if my $200k Ferrari got so much as a paint chip in it.

                                                                                                                              Nah, I'll stick to my Mustangs.

I bought my second new car which was more than I could afford where if I bought the house I could have had two room mates maying my monthly mortgage for me.

                                                                                                                                                                              In fact, due to the 959’s questionable emissions and unknown crash ratings, it took a federal law signed by President Clinton for Bill Gates to legally drive his 959 on American roads. Rumor has it that Bill Gates and Paul Allen employed Microsoft engineers to write a computer program that could simulate the 959’s crashworthiness, which helped in the bill’s passage.

                                                                                                                                                                              Basically the president signed your driver license...not bad! ;)
