Jay Leno is one of the truest car enthusiast I have ever seen. He is constantly being interviewed on 'My Classic Car' and the guy know's everything about everyone of his car's, to me that's a true enthusiast.

That guy is probably in debt up his arse, or has little or no net worth.

Which guy/garage/car pic's are you talking about? Reason I ask is because I know of a gentleman who live's in Vegas and his collection dwarf's either one of those and he is a hotel/casino owner. One thing you must realize is that 99% of the people who have collection's like that are not in debt and have tremendous personal wealth and those car's have no effect on their personal wealth.

My meaning? Saying "That guy is probably in debt up his arse, or has little or no net worth" is a very ignorant statement and usually made out of jealousy.


The guy I'm talking about is the one Mike originally posted. How do you know 99% of people who have collections like that are not in debt? Is it because they wear nice clothes and seem to be happy? Looks can be deceiving. Just because a guy has a huge income doesnt mean they're wealthy. It all depends on what type of lifestyle they live- whether you are a consumer and constantly have to spend, or the frugal person who saves every cent he/she receives. Most high consumers have a huge income and love to show off and display their wealth, but how much of that do they save?? In most cases they save almost nothing, because they are constantly buying stuff and to have as much expensive luxary cars as that suggests he is a high consumer. There's nothing wrong with having a car collection, but most peope (not all) who buy cars expenxive cars honestly dont care what or how the car performs, but how they look in it and to show off their wealth to everyone else. High income doesnt mean everything, most people with high incomes work later than most people because they are afraid to retire because they have no net worth to live off of.

And yes of course your friend the casino owner has a car collection that dwarfs the size of this guys because he is a hotel/casino owner, and in Vegas!!! He gets paid a huge some of money for doing probably almost nothing.

Your comment "That guy is probably in debt up his arse, or has little or no net worth" is such BS without knowing that person is what pisses me off ok! I will put this as politely as possible "How and where do you come off making yourself the judge and jury as to someone else's finance's"?

You can argue with me all you want but you know your jealous and thinking of a lame excuse to downplay their success.
