<p>Steal it… Give it a good ride around town before being arrested for Grand Theft Auto. </p>
<p>But seriously, you don’t know what those two people have done to get the car. They could be anything from the talented people you are aspiring to be, or just people that stole the car and are hightailing it to Long Beach harbor.</p>
<p>I have a friend who lives in a rich neighborhood, and there are a good amount of sports cars there.</p>
<p>One day this young guy (probably has rich parents) tries to show off his Lamborghini. He speeds down and when he tries to change to second gear, the car completely stops. We were laughing at that guy so hard.</p>
<p>One thing I learned: my Italian car better have automatic transmission.</p>
<p>That totally defeats the purpose if you have an automatic. Then you can’t rev the engine at stoplights. Besides, real Italian cars are always manual.</p>
<p>“Why to you think that bill gates is giving away all of his money, its because he feels EMPTY, and he is looking to plug the empty hole in himself by donating to charity.”</p>
<p>One doesn’t need to feel empty to give away what one has. In fact, I think the people who feel empty are the compulsive shoppers.</p>
<p>I tend to think that Bill Gates feels fulfilled, and that’s why he can give away his money and other things. He knows that happiness and fulfillment aren’t based on having the most material things.</p>
<p>It is much more fulfilling to make a difference by doing service than by gathering as many expensive toys as possible.</p>
<p>As Bill Gates was the son of an Eagle Scout and a woman who did lots of community service. Gates also was a Life Scout, and has been deeply involved in philanthropy and service all fo his life. Grew up in a very wealthy home, but clearly was taught and knew that money isn’t the key to happiness.</p>
<p>I think I spoke too soon when I said I wanted an automatic. I just don’t want to embarrass myself by not being able to work the crutch and stalling the car when showing off.</p>
<p>I’ll learn how to drive manual transmission eventually, especially if I’m going to get a nice car. And you can easily rev the engine at stoplights with an automatic if you put the gear on neutral.</p>
<p>I’ll add to Northstarmom’s post by saying that you’ll always have somewhere to go in life. You’ll always have a goal. That’s the motivation you have to do anything at all.</p>
<p>People like expensive cars? The world MUST be coming to an end!</p>
<p>Seriously, if you want signs of a grim future, look no further than the American media. I can’t wait to read Lynne Spears’ book on parenting. I’m going to start on that after I finish Paris Hilton’s book on playing hard to get.</p>
<p>d00d i see them every day. well, not everyday, but a few people have them in my town. but hey, the most common car in the student’s parking lot in my town is a mercedes benz</p>
