you all have to imagine it. Man in shorts and Ugg high ankle/low calf boots.
I suppose it could have been worse if he'd cut air holes for his nasty callused long-nailed toes. |

God Wants Me to have a Bentley, or Just Another Sign of the Apocalypse
Quote:
After posting yesterday about a black used Bentley, I drove home from the train and, I shit you not, found a relatively new Black Bentley Arnage parked in front of my house. I've never seen the car in the neighborhood before, but there it was, sitting right below my mailbox. I went inside, got changed, went to the gym and when I returned it was gone. I have no idea why it was there, but it freaked me out. I mean, really, what are the statistics on this sort of shit happening. The damn car was an immaculate example of exactly the sort of ride I'd really love to get my hands on someday. The only thing wrong with it was the interior was white, and I prefer tan. My grandmother used to say that crows in the yard were harbingers of a death in the family... I wonder if her specious superstition applies to cars? Perhaps this is God telling me I have to quit law immediately? I have to have one. The damn thing was gorgeous. |

By the way, your $35k Bentley will cost you three times per year in depreciation, insurance and repairs as would a similar vintage $35k 911, which is already way more expensive to maintain than anything else on the road. There's a reason the exotic dealer near me can't sell the $4k Maserati biturbo. There's no warranty, and the first repair is going to end up costing more than the purchase price. |

The sole reason I even toyed for a brief moment with the absurd notion of buying a used Bentley was because my commute is about a mile to the train. And the insurance would not be all that high on a used Bentley. I'd maybe see an increase a few hundred a year over what I pay for my truck. I hate 911s. I'll NEVER own one. I appreciate their performance and respect that they are great vehicles, but I think they're ugly and uncomfortable. I saw an E 65 last weekend - THAT is a fucking car. Its a biturbo 12 cylinder Benz convertible. Fucking crazy ride. Makes most 911s look like dogshit. I know what you're saying about the Maserati. Those neat new Maserati coupes are already going for pretty low prices in the used market. The Bentley is actually not as complicated to fix as those Italian sport rides. It doesn't have the crazy racing suspensions they slap into Maseratis or Ferraris or Porsches. The cat who sold me my used trucks has a mechanic who services Rolls, and he's nothing special - just the average solid mechanic. Parts is parts unless they're the high performance kind. |

"No TV. At one time, I merely disliked the idiot eye, but about the time of Tonya Harding and OJ Simpson, I developed a hatred for the boob tube only surpassed by my feelings about politicians and phone salespeople. I've gotten to the point where about the only TV I'll watch voluntarily is "Lyin' Stan, the Weatherman", only occasionally, and that only to crosscheck what I get from the net. I'm not a fan of spectator sports, especially on TV; I prefer doing to watching. TV "News" has gotten so shamelessly bad that I'm a little reluctant to admit that I'm a member of the media, too. TV "Entertainment" has gotten unbelieveably coarse and tasteless. So why waste the time when there's other things to do?" Of course I've watched a lot of TV lately, but then I also haven't been kayaking all summer. Apparently I prove the point. Would you like my kayak? ETA Cool, I broke the board! |
