Weird that Ninja and Yolandi Vi$$sr would be in the right place to film this. Has to be them right - sounds the same.

I don’t know anything about the car but he sure was great in concert.

I spent 15 minutes drooling over this earlier today.

Well I guess I am going to have to order mine with special colors.

“Did you find my, um, um, back massager. Also, can you return it, but wear gloves.”

Yeah but I already knew the car wasn’t for me, and the person who bought the car liked that exhaust, so selling it was a win/win.

That wouldn’t have fixed the torque problem.

Did you move to NYC with the cars or buy them after having lived there? I never understood the latter.

When I moved to SF I bought a brand new S2k after wanting one since before they were released (but living in NYC where having a car is epically stupid, especially a 2-seater convertible sports car).

Well, if I would have had more time (to spend more money), then I would have led a somewhat LESS luxurious lifestyle since I would have had relatively less money to spend per fun unit. In any event I think we’ve hit on the definitional problem - I think that to be considered rich your life has to be relatively…

I guess we just have to disagree on what “extremely rich” or “rich” means then. Those things you listed are in my mind “living well”. When I left NYC I was single and making about $350k per year 10 years ago - I lived in a 1-bedroom apartment (a nice one, granted - about 650 sq ft in a doorman building in the LES)…

Have you ever lived in NYC and/or known anyone that was in fact “extremely rich”? I’ve done both. Even if you could make some argument that $500k/year makes you “rich” in NYC, there’s no world in which is makes you “extremely rich”.

Depends on the down payment and when they bought. I owe about that every month for a total mortgage of $1.4M (10/1 ARM, interest only, I get special rates due to my job but they are available to people in finance and law which describes a lot of people in NYC). I overpay but that’s my minimum so not impossible.

Don’t forget at least $350/mo per spot for parking in NYC (more if in Manhattan), so that’s another $600/mo. And of course in NYC you don’t need a car at all, much less 2. The only people I knew that owned cars when I lived there moved to NYC with their cars already paid off, and didn’t want to sell them. Most left…

$500k for a family of 4 in NYC definitely does not make you rich. But having 2 cars (with payments!) in NYC is ridiculous. You need at most 1 car, and more likely zero cars.

A friend who recently had a baby was told by her doctor in the third trimester that one glass of wine a couple of nights per week would be ok. I promptly bought her a glass that holds 750ml of wine.

Two more thoughts:

Looks like they are in or around Melbourne, so a lot of the wrong-way drivers are probably tourists. I’ve been to AUS a lot and I don’t think I’ve ever actually driven on the wrong side, but there were a lot of almosts when turning onto divided streets. I did have an Australian girlfriend go with me to a wedding…
