    PHorse: I take grave personal offense in seeing comments that the 308 is a 'poor mans' Ferrari (no offense to you personally). There are many of us (myself included) that can afford a higher-end Ferrari but just enjoy the hell out of our 308's! In my case, so much so, I am finishing up the process of an end-to-end on my low VIN '77 308 Euro totaling around $25K! I (as with many 308 owners) feel the lines of a 308 are the best ever produced in a car.

    Sorry, you just hit a nerve with me!

    Don't worry about this guy, he is having a little fun here but will learn how not to talk to people.
    PH remember to respect your elders and you can't ask are you rich questions to this crowd. Some are and don't know it Some arn't and think they are It is subjective.
    Go an read some of the Historical threads in the archives and you will see what I mean

    In this forum the way to quantify wealth i think, is how HAPPY you are...some people, you could give an example of every Fcar ever, and they would still be miserable, the "rich" ones are the ones that could see an old beaten up "poor man's 308" and see an opportunity to bring something beautiful back to life and enjoy it for what it is...those are the rich ones;)

    Didn't we just have a "How did you make your money" thread?

    Is PH an alter-ego for the nefarious Green?

    How unbeleivably tacky.

    A few days ago, an FChatter called the 360 the "Ferrari for the masses." Now this expert in the marque has placed the 308. Could we all agree that the Maranello is the "Ferrari of the well endowed?" No particular reason, I just like the car.

    To answer the posted question, my family are safe and healthy so, yes, I am rich.

    Since you put it that way, none of your freakin business. Try being polite and observant instead of insolent, the answer is in front of your face.

    I prefer being poor.

    Those that like being rich have explained it to me and its very, very, easy to get rich and takes about a month or so, but I am sorry I can't tell it to you as you are a troll.

    Oh man, I am filthy rich...though I must try and remain modest. I made my first million at the age of 12 off of a wise investment in the market. Unsatisfied with my penthouse at the time, I took another gamble and was able to make a pretty good return off of chia pet stock back in the late 80s. I managed to save up about 20 million by the time I turned 17, and now I am using that money to fund my own business venture. My company deals with the handling of bull****. We are doing very well...
