Leasing a Ferrari F430.

Good luck with your studies Rari. It's been fun getting to know you (even if it was at your expense this time round!). Don't let go of the dream - it's very achievable... The reality is - if and when you do get your first F, you will never forget that day for the rest of your life.

 

Why didn't you just say that in the first place... I too am a Junior studying Business at a great University. In fact... my GPA isn't even quite as high as yours. I just know that it has been my dream to own a Ferrari since I was about 10, and Im working hard to achieve that. I come from a successful family where money has never been an issue... but the most important thing to my dad is honesty! Honesty in school, business, and life in general. I believe that if you are honest then your life will be happy... whether you own a Ferrari or not. Welcome to Fchat... NO MORE LIES my friend.

 

I have to ask it too.... Why bother lying to us? Especially after we outed you in about 10 secounds?

I hope you attain your dream, I really do, but you seem like 11 pages of just trying to epic fail is not a good way to do it.

 

Well, kudos for coming out and admitting it. Most just coward out and stay out.

 

Oh man, tell me about it! Let's see, after buying my 348 and driving off into rush hour West Palm Beach highway traffic, I learned, the hard way, that my coolant was underfilled and my oil was overfilled by the morons at the dealership.

Yeah, Baby! That's my first 10 minutes of F car ownership! Ended up driving through some major hurricane, maybe the one right before Katrina? In a convertible! In an F car! Yeah, Baby! That's my first night in my F car.

Storm was so bad that I ended up spending the night in some town in Georgia, drinking tequilia shots endlessly with a dozen Hispanics (all of whom were bragging about their criminal records) with me in the back of their pickup out in the parking lot of the motel where I parked my F Car...music blaring from their stereo and me being the only one who couldn't sing along.

Yeah, Baby! That's my first day of Ferrari ownership!

 

But DrS, if he'd copped to it on page one, post 3 where's the fun in that?

Besides, looks like he's pointed in the right direction now, although I can't quite figure out how he doesn't know what his GPA is and had to give a range. My kids know their GPA to about the ninth decimal.

You don't want to post an exact number, but will post a range of 0.14???

That doesn't make any sense...

Lots of activity in your area,... you'd be welcome whether your 12 or 22... but may be time for full disclosure...

You're in high school right?

 

I still call BS

 

Ok. No more inquisition...

No reason to be so vague. Lots of great get together's in your area...

Play your cards right, you'll likely get invite for drives.

So what school? So what do you actually drive now?

(my high school car was a triumph spitfire ... college was alfa romeo spider )

I went to Maryland undergrad...

 

Where else can you get entertainment like this, long live FChat!

 

I'm with Simon that his spelling, grammar and composition is High School. And with Andy, LONG LIVE FcHAT!

 

This doesn't mean you still can't earn the summa cum laude, and it doesn't preclude you from a Harvard MBA. Best of luck in your studies, where ever that may be. Just be honest in the future.

 

And it's free.

 

Ironic, isn't it. Telling the truth actually gets you more taken seriously than making things up. Funny how Fchat is just a small piece of reality sometimes.

Congrats on admitting the error.

Now that we have that settled, what is it you want to know from us?

 

to vague to answer intelligently...

living in NYC or kansas?
any other debt?
any assets?
family?

ball park: to be remotely sensensible for someone starting out... $500K / year (minimum)

Now answer my question please... what university?

 

Some broad rules of thumb in life:
1. toys should never be more than 10% of your liquid savings
2. try to not purchase a non-income-producing asset (this includes homes, by the way) that costs more than your annual income
3. just because a banker or car dealer can figure out a way to get you financed...doesn't even begin to mean that you should go for it.




*Obviously all rules have exceptions.

 

UVA's a great school. 3 of my brothers went there...

So I left my office at 5 and did a lot of shopping. Stocking the house with this and that... and uhh...yea. Still flippin' through your Dupont Registry there? Still trying to decide? Yeah...uh. Seems like I was spot-on with that comment. I'm the man. (end Stewie voice)

Simon, you bastard I got Diet Coke ALL over the keyboard
