I have a lot of "rich" friends - most of them are wonderfully nice - just every once in awhile you run into a person where they got too much money, too early in life, and the money takes the worst parts of their personality and magnifies them until they become the person's defining characteristics... (and they usually drive black lambos...    )

Re: Lamborghini Gallardo: Test Drive Review
ha ha ha...you have that right. you know of course though, I was not referring to ALL people with money....just the esoteric minority who pander unto themselves with that attitude...and drive black lambos - with the exception BF if he bought that....  Which I doubt, the GT masser is whole lot more sophisticated than a lambo.

Re: Lamborghini Gallardo: Test Drive Review
Yeah...its GREAT car for a short term thing, but terrible for the long term due to the fact that its about as functional as mesh screens on a submarine.
