LOL it's funny you mention that but Din Tai Fung is so common here, we don't find it special enough to take pics of it. Besides, when it comes out piping hot and smelling delicious, I'm not patient enough to take pics and I scarf those dumplings DOWN.

Adrian Newey??? Haha so you mean the car too nerdy! I can agree with some aspects of that.

My dad loves to preach that there are very few joys in life that are better than acquiring things that I worked hard for.
Well stated. My father said that to me over and over. My parents bought me a new car when I got my license ('88 VW GTI 16V) and paid for my college education. While my dad doesn't have the very impressive car collection that yours does, he has managed to accumulate an Aston V12 Vanquish, Maser QP, a '65 Impala SS conver, a 66 Impala SS coupe, and a couple of chopped '38 Ford coupes. While I had the car/education covered, I was expected to maintain a part time job during school. I also worked a full-time summer job. One summer my dad was "kind" enough to get me a job through a friend as a brick tender. He also found me a few jobs painting some family friend's houses in the evening hours and weekends. At the time I liked the work, but now I fully understand that he was helping build a solid foundation for my future. While I will enherit a decent amount of money in the future, I'm really not concerned about it as I intend to make my 1st million before I turn 48.

I got a camera recently alright! But I haven't had a chance to go back to see the McLaren with my new camera yet. I'll be going back in December.

never really been a big mclaren guy. never really liked the looks of the car, or the engine.

I prefer a Ferrari over mclearn, sure the mclaren might be a better car. but the Ferrari is more of a emotional car.

I prefer the Novitec 458 my dad had as well, too bad that thing was so riddled with problems my dad go tired of it and sold it. Replacing it with a McLaren isn't exactly SAD, but I definitely miss the 458. The noise the Ferrari made is just so invigorating.
