Pics of my rides.

Wow, the tone of thread has shifted dramatically.

So, umm, anymore pictures of your cars?

 

I do not think you know what mentalize means. It means putting yourself in another person's shoes. To do that means that you contemplate all the possible perspectives and reasons for another person's behavior, not just your own knee-jerk perspective/assumptions. I can see from your posts that mentalizing is a skill that eludes you.

 

Fchat is a potpourri of characters - from extemely conservative billionaires to paycheck to paycheckers. I need to contemplate all possible perspectives before giving my point of view on being financially responsible so I don’t offend anyone?? Got it. (Note to self-do not write anything with which someone else might not agree)

Sorry JasonN, this thread derailment is my fault. Now that Chad the Excavator and Dr. Watchboy have learnt me on keeping my opinions to myself, I hope we can get back to discussing your cars.

I just got back from the AMG Driving Academy at COTA - if you haven’t done it yet, it’s pretty fun. The C63 was a blast to drive on the skid pad. I did the same course 5 years ago, but did it with my wife this time (and it was close to my brother and his newborn twins in San Antonio). If you’ve ever driven on a track or attended a racing school, you’ll likely find it a little boring at times, but it is free if you bought the C63 new.

 

Let's face it...we're all a bit nutz and stupid on FChat.
Nice cars Jason...I love the 'vette particularly!

 

Well since we are giving opinions here and ignoring that mom always says "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all." My opinion on you from this post and the previous ones I've seen from you, that you are as probably as self-made as Kyrie Jenner. Kudos to your family for making you so successful that you can sit on the forum and tell other Ferrari owners how blatantly financially irresponsible they are. Hopefully I can grow up to be in a wealthy family someday so I can criticize everyone on here...

 

Rent to/or Own - I.don't.care.

I only hit Like on the distraction post 'cause it looks like a nice joint, too.

I think you gentlemen are really talking about the garage. I didn't see anything really showing the house.

 

Hesitated to answer this because it's so stupid and I really wanted to get the focus back on JasonN's cars, but I worried that if I didn't reply someone might think my silence would confirm your suspicions. My dad started off as a PE teacher and went back to school to become a principal, and my mom started off running an unlicensed daycare and went back to school so she could teach middle school English. My wife's dad owned a car parts store in a town of 3500 people, and her mom died when she was 10 and left her an inheritance of roughly $50k.

I do have a very wealthy uncle, but he only gave me $20 for my birthday every year til I was 18 (and a some nice cutlery for my wedding present).

 

Well it was just an opinion... Seems to be just as worthless as your opinion. you're going to get treated on here just as he treat others. I gather most people don't post on here to get criticized.

 

funny guy, have you been to hong kong? do you also bash on the 10 bed room flat owners there for not posting nice pics on their Ferraris in front of their house, as many that I know at least over there choose not to own a house. Maybe I am misunderstanding you, but I assume it is ok to have a flat worth x50 a 458? Or it has to be a house just for the sake that it is a house and you can have nice pics of the cars in front of it and post it here to show everyone that the cars is in equality with the house. Maybe this is a US thing to have a house?

 

The problem is that he can't see beyond his own front yard. There are a multitude of good reasons why people choose not to have gigantic houses and/or not to own property at all, but to him it's all "fiscal irresponsibility." Judging by the inciteful and bellicose posts, I'm glad he's not someone in my offline life.

 

This is like d of what I was trying to get out of his post - I don't get what having a palatial house has got to do with owning a Ferrari.
I also note several others picked up on his snarky post !

Whats wrong with people?! Why cant we just be happy for each other?!
Does the house we live matters? Come on, dont be a d!%k.

 

I love the sound of the cam at idle!

 

This has to be the most absurd thread I have ever had the displeasure to read on any car forum. Poster is proud of his cars and posts photos. The responses turn into a vitriolic debate upon the financial sensibility of owning a house as opposed to renting. WOW!

 

Yeah, no kidding. It is the perfect example of the reason why I no longer make any significant postings on automotive web forums anymore. Because there is always some idiot who blindsides you with a ridiculous "counterpoint" that is, in actuality, quite "off-point" and hypercritical in a derogatory, yet entirely ludicrous manner.

 

Yup, we have a bunch of assh&!€$ in the forum....
And the funny thing is I’m sure we have a few billionaires here (some with 3 laferraris or whatever and some with just an old Ferrari but with a 350M yacht) and they are the most kind and humble people. Maybe with just 10 posts or something like that and you would never tell.
Odin, give me patience....
