Simmermon Fri, 03 Dec 2010 05:39:18 +0000 http://deanhunt.com/?p=516#comment-275501 This whole stream of posts I find difficult to agree with. The reasoning that the author of the original post had sounded all well and good, but in my opinion, it is a matter of personality. I personally, would rather have a wonderful 50" TV and do the housework myself. I take pride in having nice things at home, and if I have to work a little harder in my home in order to support my nice amenities, I have no problem with that. I would rather own a nice home that I have to work to keep nice, than a double-wide trailer that I can afford to pay for gardening to keep maintained. Additionally, I am an automotive gearhead; so the whole "Porsche" argument I have a hard time with as well. Many of the posts' authors are of the belief that Porsche owners are foolish for purchasing expensive vehicles that are not as reliable as Toyota Corollas. The fact is, many people enjoy the thrill of a vehicle that provides an adrenaline rush and mechanical thrill that can't be found anywhere else. Ferdinand Porsche, along with Enzo Ferrari, Carrol Shely, and countless others were not concerned with saving money... they designed vehicles that made human beings feel amazing, exhilerating, exciting, dangerous, and most importantly... alive. If you have the money to buy nice things, and they make you happy... buy them. It's your dagg-on money.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-275501">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> This whole stream of posts I find difficult to agree with.

I stated that I might wear them 2 times a month. The person that was asking the question then said to me do you know how many things that you do every single day that you spend less money on that need better quality products then what you think you should spend on them? I bought the shampoo because they were right, it seems unfaird that I wear my hair everyday and spend only a couple dollars!<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-257178">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I was asked once how much I spent on my jeans, when I said $80 dollars or something like that, I was then asked how many times I wear them.

Very loud and uncomfortable! Better off in an Accord. And if you need a car to impress and get laid, your pretty lame.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-239109">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Has anyone actually driven a 911?
