    Wrong...pulling down Financial Times onto my Kindle, while alternating between Eminem and 1812 overture on the iPhone with Bose headsets. I almost got Dre's beats...guess I can't be a real baller. :(

    But my coffee comes from the first-class kitchen. :)

    ahh, the Bose headphones. Forgot about those and the Dockers khakis and Rockports. With the Jos A Bank traveller's shirt.

    and the real ballers rock the Bowers and Wilkins (I have Bang and Olafson FWIW). beats by dre are straight chav-status.

    1812 overture? lolz....rookie.

    Rockports are so East-Coast late-90's. But khaki's and a rep tie state "I'm important, but won't freak out at you. As long as you keep the free booze coming"

    nah, I was a poor Marine at the time. But I would stare in envy at all the cool guys rocking them at the Helly Hansen outlets.

    I don't think mine do.

    We own a Lexus LS Hybrid, a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited , a Ford F250, and a Yukon Hybrid. My daughter will soon get the Jeep.

    I basically use all of them for different activities, and none of them really say who I am? The Ford is 10 years old, and we don't owe anything on the others either. I think it's more important to give the money to people who need it.

    Nah, not even close. I love sexy cars. I used to own a Jeep Wrangler. Personally I think that is the car that represents me. I have to drive those nice cars because I wine and dine our customers. Can't be rolling up in a mid-level car; when these guys are giving us millions of dollars.

    Its funny, all my friends into cars are always one-upping each other. One of my friends has an E63 too and he thinks its too much of a family/old man's car. :crazy:

    You know there are times I look at it and say "Damn this car is sexy!" There there are moments that I think just like your friend. In terms of the "sexiest car" I've driven; I would have to say that Cayenne Twin Turbo was my favorite. It was just that car sucked down gas like it was going out of style.

    I'm thinking my next car is going to be a honda civic. I hate paying a lot for gas and insurance and I LOATHE the mechanics. Fucking hate it.

    I'd love to get a baller car, but shit is mad expensive to maintain. That, and I'd rather spend the money on other crap.

    If it were up to me, I'd love to live in a city where i don't need a car. Would be so much better.
