DOES a man's slary matter??

[mrplunkey]

All the ongoing costs have to be factored to include any extraordinary costs, eg. new foreign sports car to make it to the spa faster. When there is an offsetting positive balance eg. saving 30k a month at gentlemans clubs you see where the value increases and the expenses become inconsequential.

Currently I am researching the 5000 mile engine out service for the 355F1 vs getting her a new one. That might be the only hairball. Foreign car services have really taken a bite out of my weekly salary as of late. But if she can shop faster perhaps a faster car would be in order; another compensating balance. So as I stated previously, ya get what ya pay for.

I am horrified that you aren't buying her a F430. Are you cheap or something?

The Atlanta Ferrari dealership has two F430's for sale. Both are low miliage and they are asking low 300's (320ish, if I remember correctly). That should hold her over until you can get a 599 GTB. Those will sticker in the low 300's, but they are wait listed for a couple of years. Buy a resale one -- I think you could snag it undriven for mid to upper 400's. You'd definately want a 599 long-term, since its heavier and safer than it's 8-cylinder counterpart.

Good lord. Step-up to the plate man. If you've spent $40+M on women in the past, what's $750K in sports cars?

Sheesh.

OMG you are so funny.

Yea, it's an open forum. You put words into my mouth then get pissed at me for them? But I am the one that "needs help"?

See post #141 and try answering with logic this time. I'm not pissed, i do feel like i'm talking to a brick wall though.

Actually, I am researching that exact topic. The Enzo that is in San Mateo is yellow, I hate yellow. If I am going to buy my wife a 1M toy it will not look like a really fast yellow cab. I found another one in Dallas, but it belongs to one of my indsutry peers, he is an asshole and I don't want his car because once again, smelly cars are icky.The 355F1 is an old car I have.... It already has 4480 miles on it, since I don't smoke the ashtray is unused, had it been dirty I would already have turned it in. When my ex used the ashtray in the DB9 I had to sell it. Stinky cars are icky!!

There is another Enzo in Dallas, but, it belongs to one of my industry peers. This guy is an asshole and wears too much cologne, once again, stinky cars are icky.

So I appreciate your input, I am researching all this car thing and the associated expenses as quickly as possible. Afeer all I have only ben married for a week and have a number of vehicles that will do in a pinch. I am also looking out for BM's safety as the Z06 had some engine work done increasing the HP to about 750, as you can imagine being the doting and loving husband I am, there is no reason to be usafe in a car that is not familiar to her.

Once again I really do value your imput and should you have more please fel free to help me out in this research. OR if you have a black or dark blue Enzo in your garage please PM me and we can pop over for a test drive.

Reagrds!

You did not say it as such but the inference is there:

1. "I dont date losers and this makes me a gold-digger?"

2. "they might prefer the company lowlife simpletons"

Maybe i'm wrong and maybe you don't really think this... but if i am then you have a serious weakness with words.

Similarly, with the success=money issue. The way that you and your husband have completely failed to see how this is not always true is another indicator of your character's. From this thread alone, i'd say that you do make a good couple...but i wouldn't particularly want to spend my time with you, as i'm sure you wouldn't with me.

There is no inference of the such, but was in your head alone as I specifically pointed out to you already. But my answer was not good enough?

OK - we will try it from another angle.

If you told me that your preference was to date caucasion women would I automatically infer from this that you are a racist?

You have some idea in your head because I prefer not to date men that are 48 years old and still living at home with no money in the bank, living pay-check to pay-check that makes me a gold-digger. Good for you.

I have pointed out that my own parents couldnt speak a word of English yet they came to this country and did fairly well. I learned old-school manners and their apprecation from my parents and they never got passed the 8th grade in their own country, forget about an education here.... dont get much more blue collar than that.

As for my necessary criteria of the man having the appreciation of aesthetics. That has nothing to do with money and everything to do with a man's gentleness and life experience.

Character, kindness and wit, the knowledge that sex is a gift (and NOT a commodity) to be shared between two mutally consenting adults... also necessary criteria.

So you were saying about me and my husband <----- a man that you know ZERO about? But according to you if he chose me then there *must* be something wrong with him. LOL

I dont date 20 something year old men. If a man is in his mid 40's and has not achieved a modicum of success then why would I give him my time? I have known MANY men that had achieved tremendous wealth only to lose it in one fell swoop. They didnt just curl up in a ball and die, but got back out there and built back up.

You assign feelings to me that I do not have then you get pissed at me for them..... but I need "help"? Dude... scroll back and reread my posts.

Bmom, you write way too much...if you could be more concise then perhaps you would spend less of your time here.

Now...these two sentences that you have made do infer that you do not think a lot of men who are not wealthy:


1. "I dont date losers and this makes me a gold-digger?"

2. "they might prefer the company lowlife simpletons"


I admitted that maybe i was wrong but said at the same time that if you do not bellieve that men with low salaries are 'losers etc' then you have a VERY bad way with words.

Re your husband...i know that he shares/shared the same view as you that money=success. That is all i need to know.

 

[ksharp01]

Well, for me personally I have dated on both sides. I generally go first for the ones I am attracted to and both rich and poor can make you happy or sad. I would however like it if my SO make at least as much as me with todays cost of living.

You're not going to get a decent Enzo for $1M. Lake Forrest Motorcars has (or had) a black one for $1.4M.

And you should know as well as I do that you don't drive an Enzo. They are collecter's items. With their undrivably-low front-end clearance, $750 in oil per change, and quickly-degenerating breaks they are earmarked as track-only cars. Besides, a lot of Enzo technology has been driven into the F430 -- their 0-60 times are both right at 3.3ish seconds. The 599 is the same way. As a matter of fact it even uses an Enzo engine.

The 599 is obviously the way to go. It's the safest, high-performance solution. I'd love to hear and see what you wind-up with

No darlin... what you dont get is that you have a perception of me that is on you. If you want to continue that perception, rock on my brother. Just please dont put words into my mouth then continue to get pissed at me for it.

Because I said that I dont degrade other members for prefering to choose to be in the company of low-life simpletons that does not mean that I said or ever believed that ALL MEN who do not fit MY particular dating criteria = low-life simpletons. That is a conclusion that you alone arrived at. So stop getting annoyed with ME for YOUR conclusions. I was merely using an extreme example to illustrate my point.

In my estimation a gold-digging female is as undesirable as a low-life simpleton male. Get it now?

Your posts continue to demonstrate just how close-minded you are.

Again, that isn't on me. That is on you.

Says the woman who STILL believes that money=success.

You have a very bad way with words, darlin. Tee hee.
