You never truly know someone's circumstances and if they are living the good life or living hand to mouth trying to project an image.

'Couldn't agree more.

I've never understood "what gives" with the guy who's new Benz is worth more than his house, if you get my drift (and it's usually a safe bet the Benz is leased in a case like that, too). Of course the OTHER extreme exists as well - and is probably more common place. Eg: Howard Hughes was known to drive old beater Chevies...and Clint Eastwood usually drives around in an old pickup truck. So, like you said, one really just never knows.

Warren Buffet is the perfect example of one really never knows.

Another good example is a wealthy person in WA (not B. Gates) that appears to never drive, claims to have empty pockets, but you would never guess what he has tucked away in his garage!

A woman once told me she scratched her ex-boyfriends car because he dumped her. Any recent dumps?
 
Better that than smashing it with coconuts. :eek :lol

No bitter ex's here.......at least not on the west coast. :bored
 
Oh my gosh Tom! Sorry to hear about your car.
Not that this will make you feel better about the situation, but think about this - What if it was the GT? Good thing you decided to get those TTs on your GT. :thumbsup (How's that for helping rationalize the cost of the kit.)

Thanks for the replies guys.....and the obligatory EP garage joke. I knew that was coming. :lol

Just a quick comment on the side topic of this thread. Jealousy/anger at those who have nice things. When I was a kid you aspired to be the guy in the great car or who had the great job. You worked to get there. You were not jealous of him.

Someone asked me at a C&C what I do to be able to afford a car like the GT. I hate that question and usually answer "I work mostly seven days a week all year long." to which he replied "I need my weekends off." To which I politely replied "You can't work a 40hr week and get ahead." .....and I don't think you ever could. I am not jealous of anything anyone else has because I don't know what they have to do to live that life. I have not had a 40hr a week job since I was 19. It does not exist in my world.

My neighbor had a good observation as we grumbled about my car. "The thing about the world today is a guy with a car like yours could just as easily be three payments behind and be close to having the thing repossessed." :lol Which made me laugh because he was right. You never truly know someone's circumstances and if they are living the good life or living hand to mouth trying to project an image. All I know is the car is repaired and back in my garage waiting for my next trip to Vegas to be driven and parked wherever the heck I want to go. :cheers

Sorry to here about your misfortune, but at least you have a good attitude about your horrible situation. Your comment above were you mention about working nearly 7 days a week reminds of a TV show "Gene Simmons Family Jewels." Gene said "they a 365 days a year and if you work 365 days a year your making lots of money." I don't see how some people can get by on 40 hours or even less. You definately couldn't have the very nice toys (cars).

We are staying at a near by park with our motor home. We would love to meet you for dinner. We will be there Friday for sure and dinner either night sounds great!
 
Feckin scum. It's such a cowardly act to key a nice car, completely pointless and speaks volumes about the person who did it.

As mentioned earlier, I'd really like to catch someone doing this to any car, they would wake up with a crowd around them.

My standard repsonse is "work very hard, save your money, marry rich or win the lotto"

I like that one though the first two are probably much easier to do than the last two!
 
No one said it would be easy
