Many here have seen and ridden in the car. I love sharing it. Hope it helps build a DREAM for others.

Other drivers act differently around it.

On the interstate other cars actually ALLOW me to merge!

Or they cruise in my blind spot for a while, stay beside for a while, and hang toward the front for a while - so they can take pictures!

At a 4 way stop I get waved to go first (Indiana drivers are wavers).

Yesterday I was dropping Wifey at the door and realized a police officer was running my plate (under a business name). He tapped on my window and told me "Move along. Uber drivers must use the taxi/rideshare lane."

My 4 year old grandson lives in a home full of voice actuated gadgets (Alexa, TV remote...). Using my clicker I have convinced him Eleanor pops up and down in the hood when he calls her name.

Life's too short to drive boring cars!

What's your favorite ride?

BRAD

I split my time between a Mazda CX5 and an F150. I really like the CX5 which I just got a few months ago. It's fun to drive and fuel efficient. Perhaps the best driving car I've ever owned is a Lexus LS 400. That was an excellent highway vehicle and very durable as well. A car like that doesn't fit my current lifestyle however.

I will stick with the Silverado 1500 of the day.

I use it to carry stuff as well as a daily driver.

Second is whatever the wife has because she can drive me around.

Don't get me wrong, the Rolls is nice and I bet it is a smooth ride on the highway.

We just aren't there yet and as such we don't see it being a priority.

License plate - YUPPIE.

LOL! they really thought an Uber driver would be driving that?!

I'm happy for you - that it makes you happy.

Even if I had the means... it's not for me. More to maintain.

I can think of a lot of other places I'd rather put my money to use.

Although, I WOULD like a nicer Honda. My current 2013 Fit gets good gas mileage, but it's also a bit beat up - by others : (.

My last two full sized trucks have been four cylinder turbos.

Decent fuel mileage. Until I get close to a trailer. Still pulls what I need to but then the mileage drops down worse than a big V8.

I just don't like the 5'6" bed. To get a 6' bed around here you have to special order it and I never have the patience.

Heated steering wheel and seats plus a big display to watch as I back up to a trailer.

My phone syncs up to it easily.

My tenants make the lease payments. I never have tire, brake, mechanical or rust problems.

I literally could not fit any sort of luxury vehicle in my lifestyle and it's not something that I even desire--and I do like cars. I guess it's a bit like having a Rolex--I'm simply not going anyplace where that sort of adornment is necessary, so it just doesn't fit what my lifestyle and I've no use for it. I can't imagine the reaction from friends, tenants, neighbors and etc. if I rolled up in a luxury vehicle---all I'd probably have is problems that I don't need---lawsuits, envy, people plotting and etc. Naw--let me stay incognito. I have no problems being the quiet millionaire living next door that no one knows about.

Having said that, I have no problem and make no judgement about other folks having these things, it's just not for me.

Favorite vehicle was my 1950 ford 8N tractor. Relaxingly fun when bushhogging and cutting grass on several acres. Hook up the snow plow in the winter and have more fun on my driveway and the driveways of the few neighbors I had.

It also came with a two-bottom plow and a 6 foot disc for the garden, and a grader for gravel and sand.

The 6X6!

Military trucks are cool.

Yea, I used to enjoy my other practical cars too,

until I drove one.

We are in one of the most profitable, easy to grow businesses on earth. Make enough money that the cost does not matter.

Jason- 11 litres.

Life's too short to drive only practical cars. Set your DREAMS and GOALS high and Live a little!

BRAD

NE, I was there, or close to it, until I decided to let my daughter take the flip house at cost.

Ahhh, but NE, you are rich.

Hey Brad, I just took a test drive in a Ghost. Well, through video anyway.

You could play cash cab Brad.

I am glad that the car gives you so much joy. I am not into the flash. In a crowd, I want to absolutely blend in as the Joe next door to you......

A great car does not have to replace the practical vehicles.

I still use my SUV/truck, utility trailer, dump trailer, Wifey's SUV...

just have some extra FUN vehicles like the Porsches, MGB...

You don't have to want a car. Some folks have boats, motorcycles, RVs because they enjoy them.

Stop and think - what DO I want? These material things are just a RESULT of building toward your DREAM. Time, family, support missionaries, save the planet, a cabin in the woods...

Set you your business and profit will grow in direct proportion to your DREAMS and GOALS.

Being overly comfortable where you are makes stagnation.

The tomato that stops growing, rots.

You'll look around in a few years and say "How did that happen - I guess I wasn't paying attention."

How deep is your tush imprint into your LaZboy?

Dissatisfaction and desire PROPEL you forward! Like the dandelion that grows in the tiniest of cracks, God made us to yearn for FREEDOM!!!

Find something that lights your fire, gets you up in the morning, keeps you awake at night thinking and planning.

BRAD

Well said Brad.

All of us have different goals. They are close to the same but slight changes abound.

I fear that I keep adding goals without actually achieving any of them.

That will be my main goal going forward... don't just set a goal, work toward achieving it.

Personally, I've never subscribed to a growth for growth's sake for myself mainly because there's a limit to what I want to deal with. You can't do that without capacity building and that translates to stress for me which is not something I'm trying to do at my age. I operate with the concept of "enough". That doesn't mean that I'm unambitious but anything that I do has to be an acceptable risk and not lead to undue stress. I don't feel like I'm under the gun to grow or else. If an acceptable opportunity presents itself then fine, but I'm not trying to shoehorn myself into anything.

6man,

That was a good video!

Driving this car is an experience, like no other car.

I like to say you don't DRIVE it, just POINT IT and it goes!

I don't have a flashy car, or truck. Do have late model SUV & pickup..... and a fantastic hunting dog. Its a pudlepointer, not misspelled--look it up. It a German breed. Just came back from a 3+ week hunting trip. Ducks, Chukar, sharptail grouse, and pheasant. Since coming home, I have gone hunting quail nearly every day for 1-2 hours.

Just watched a great interview with Robert Herjavic (the nice one on Shark Tank) on YT How Billionaires REALLY Think...20 Questions.

At 5:10 he answers “What would you do of you had to start over?”

His answer “I would DREAM bigger!...when your mind expands if never goes back” [to small thinking].

DREAM BIG!
