Funny stuff there! Around my parts if you want to really stand out and have glass separating you...drive a Bugatti. Here in the “South” people are generally very nice. If a guy approaches you at a gas station in your Ferrari he is grinning ear to ear and wants to chat. In the South it is kinda expected that you want to chat too. Also...the guy at the gas station in his beat up Ford F-150 may have a 10,000 acre ranch, his wife has horses, and for kicks with his buddies he has a 70’ Viking boat.
I actually have a fairly modest home; nothing crazy. I don't know how people maintain these huge homes. I have enough trouble keeping weeds out of my yard and vacuuming the couple of rooms we do use in the house. Ray
Drop by unexpected and you'll find out I remember I used to hang around this Police Supply / Gun store back in the 90's and after a while I got to be friends with the owner. I had never done anything but hang out in front talking to all the guys who worked there, etc. One day, after hours, the owner asked me to help him with a computer issue he was struggling with. So I walked around behind the counter to take a look at their computer - when I did, as I was walking up to the cash register, I noticed he had a .44 magnum strapped right under where you'd reach to open the cash register drawer. Holy Cow! I looked like something out of a Dirty Harry movie. He told me they kept it there, so that if anyone ever came in to rob them, they would just act like they were going for the cash drawer, but would actually reach under the counter and pull the trigger - the barrel was aimed right at someone standing in front of the register (and not at a good height I might add).

I hear ya. I have 3 homes at the moment - well, 4 if you include all my time spent at Home Depot I'm selling 2 houses right now (one in Monterey, one in Pebble Beach) if you are looking to add to your collection over there. Ray
Try having two girlfriends - who are sisters - sometime. That's really entertaining. Also everything is twice as expensive. Ray
Okay...you win! Nuts! What is it with us......cars, boats, watches, guns....(and sometimes the ever deadly....girls)?
I gave up on boats and watches. As far as guns and women.. I standardized on a few calibers and only Latinas. Ray
I wouldn't mind having a small Grady White for fishing. But frankly, I enjoy fishing off the rocks more than going out in a boat most of the time. Also, I don't really like eating fish, so fishing sort of seems like a very relaxing but sort of pointless endeavor. Also, have you seen what CA charges for a fishing license each year? It's crazy. As far as watches, I really love some of the movements and how they are put together. However, if you need to know what time it is, you can always just ask Siri. I haven't worn a watch in years and don't miss it at all. Ray
What about fresh grouper sandwich, lemon, salt/pepper, thin coat of tartar? I actually have a small Boston Whaler center console, does the job. Watches.....nothing like a Patek complication...
You can say that again. I bet John is rethinking coming on Ferrarichat asking for retirement / car advice Ray
Don't listen to anyone John other than the voice that says 458. It's really as simple as that. Follow your bliss !
