Pretty good pissing contest this thread.

No need for me to add my list to this as the list is big and my fingers are hurting.

Buegie · 07-26-2009, 09:38 PM

Well I guess I'm cheating since I valet at a five-star inn/restaurant but still...these were some of the nicer ones, a full list would be too long

Aston Martin Vantage, DB7
Audi b6/b7 S4, b7 RS4
Bentley Flying Spur (many)
BMW e46/e90/e93 M3, e60 M5, e60 535i, e64 650i Vert, e66 750iL, e92 335i
Chevy SSR, the one with the LS2 (Corvette engine) in it
Jeep SRT8
Lexus LS460
Maserati Quattroporte
Mercedes C55 AMG, S550
Porsche C/C4/CS/C4S, Cayman, Cayenne
Range Rover Supercharged

There is no way you've driven all these. What do you do for a living??? And you signature is insane if you actually own all those cars..

Enzo - bare and raw. Loved it. Excellent track toy with a beautiful screamer in the back
Veyron - quiet and all about the luxury. Felt like flying in my friend's Hawker
LP640 Roadster - a heavy piece of machinery. To me it felt heavier than the Veyron. Draws more attention than the CGT
CGT - perhaps I am getting old. The clutch wears me down in traffic, so I do not drive it as often nowadays. '
SLR - feels the heaviest of the bunch and the handling is the worst of the bunch. It felt more like a lightened Maybach with loads of torque
Scuderia - very easy to drive and the shift time on this is amazing. Very capable track car

Why not? He has a Newport Beach address. I live off the PCH (Pacific Palisades/Malibu) and see these kind of cars every day. Lot of TFers and TV industry people and other assorted types roaming these streets. My good pal is a filmmaker and Clio Award winner and has a nice stable of expensive vintage cars (although he doesn't have the time to be on any car forums....

)

But he should correct his signature..... it's balloon white Gallardo, not ballon white (sounds like ballin' white

)

Hahaha good call on the correction. I'm down in Malibu a lot and I do see tons of nice cars; it's just crazy to think that one guy could own all of those. I'm only 18 so I can't even fathom coming up with that kind of money hahah

It is, but for a buck eighty I'd probably get an FCar, R8 V10, GT2, or Lambo.

You would be surprised as to how much one can achieve in a lifetime. Many of my friends came from humble backgrounds. With a little bit of luck, an eye for opportunities, and proper work ethics, moving beyond the boundaries is very possible. Don't be surprised if 30 yrs from now, some one is saying the same thing to you as you did to me.
