What do you do? How do you afford a Ferrari?

LOL LOL ROFL, DO IT!!! You obviously look indian and can get away with it. OMG I'd like to see their faces!

I have just started telling people I'm retired. (at 24 it gives them a shock.)

 

SHE TURNED ME INTO A NEWT!

...


Well, I got better.

 

Hey that's awesome. I actually once was an underwear model, I gotta start milking that. (suuuush I was 5 at the time)

 

Oh right, like you don't

 

I don't really mind the question, it's only natural for people to wonder how someone can afford to spend 4-8fold what many new cars cost. No biggy, I just tell them what I do for a living. Often it's not what you do, but how well you do it...so what does that really say?

The thing I do hate is not so much the question, but the f-in presumptions; such delightful things to figure we have these cars because we're insecure, are trying to make a statement, are compensating for something, etc, etc. There's always some ****** trying to chop ya down...and more often of not they're driving a vette or porsche, go figure.

It's like, you spend much of your life working hard and making something of yourself....and once you have a piece of something, everyone wants to belittle you for it (much out of their own insecurities). Wtf?

But the most infuriating thing are the people who presume I got some huge settlement from a fraudulent lawsuit, won the lottery, got it from Daddy's money, or had it handed to me. The presumption that I didn't earn it and don't deserve it: that pisses me off!!!

Me & Darth earned this f-in car!!!!!

 

You know, whats funny about this, I have driven Darths car, been coined the name Boxmaster after showing him what his old beloved 550 could do, and I don't even know what he does/did/is doing/wants to do/has done/will be doing. But, I know one thing, he is one ****ed up human being, and this is why he is my friend Oh, and he will drink all of your friends Vodka.

 

Keep posting that pic, my product placement contract with Keystone and IRL nets me a case of beer and race tickets every time.

 

i actually answer the question. but since its also on my license plate it doesnt happen that often. the funny thing is that when you roll around in a benz sedan that may be worth even more, nobody asks !

 

It's just conversation. Big deal.

Back to doing market research at Darth's factory...

 

Interesting that you should mention that. Some years ago I was introduced to a cousin of a friend of mine. We were going to the fights at the Spectrum in Philly with him. As we walked towards the arena, I asked, "So, what do you do for a living?"

He replied, "I'm a meat packa."

I pressed on, "So, you work in the distribution center behind the stadium?"

He said, "Nah."

I kept quizzing him until finally he blurted out, "I close doors for a living."

Still unclear as to his occupation, I asked for details, he answered, "On people's hands. I close them on people's hands."

He added, "If anyone walks up to me in the stadium, just walk away, I'll meet you back at the house." That's when he showed me the little gun he had in his pocket and assured me it was ok because, "It wasn't registered."

Turned out he collected on past due private loans, and was very well connected.

That is the last time I ever asked what someone does for a living. Now I wait for them to volunteer it.

TRUE STORY.

My favorite response is, 'It's not what I do but who I do" and she buys me nice toys for doing it so well

 

You know it's natural for people to ask what you do. I ain't rich and don't have a Ferrari (yet), but I meet someone, they ask me what I do. The only problem is that I have a hard time explaining what I do and after I am done, they probably still don't know. I don't know why this is a problem if they are sincere, nice and curious folks who like cars.
If someone is trying to knock you down a notch or just being a jealous pecker then fock'em. Leave 5280 ft of rubber and smoke to choke on.

 

As long as you're there, go into the shipping records and see who the hell is ordering all of the blow up rainbow econolube dildos in Atlanta!

Call me on my mobile, I'll be at the golf course.

Thanks.

 

LMAO!!!

 

Answer that always works for us and no further questions asked, unless we are in a braggin mood: "Won a lottery/hit the jackpot. Yeees, got lucky (slap)".

 

Darth already has that job.

 

The only reseach you need for his "factory" is a gas mask after one of his megacombo's

 

Now even more, you wish you were me.

 

Did you make your "one" phone call for the week? You must be wiped out.

Time for a nap eh?

 

FarmerDave has the market cornered on ball scratching.

 

Hey Dave, what's your post-count upto?

 

Steve!!!!

Where the hell have you been?

 

gobs and gobs of posts.

 

its right up with there with "How much?"

 

As a kid thats something i always ask people. Not to be annoying or anything but to get an idea of perspective jobs and to see what people do to afford these cars. It's always when I meet someone and am riding in the car not just walking up to them though. As far as i know no one has ever taken offense to that question. It's kind of like everyone that asks me what grade I'm in or what i want to major in when i go to college. Gets annoying after a thousand times but never offensive.
