just last weekend i heard from a successful company owner how his bakery in his hometown lost 50% of its revenue after he bought a Porsche.
and when i was still employed and bought a Porsche (a used 968), my boss asked me to park around the corner from now on when i was visiting clients. |
Yep.
Worst part is you could spend £20k on a ford and all they would see is the ford badge and not care. Spend £5k on an old porsche and they will see the porsche badge and decide you are overcharging to be able to afford one
