Rich people don't use the internet.

 

Funny you brought up Overfinch. I really like their kits, but the rims are just blah IMO. Not sure if your Maserati came with Overfinch wheels, but my CEO's does and no offense, I cant stand them.

Edit- I just walked out to check out the CEO's ride, now I'm not sure if they are Overfinchs. They look identical to the Supersport w/o the nipples.

 

What? Have you ever heard of Bill Gates? Wealth has nothing to do with internet usage.

 

I'm not much into rims. I just have a set of the OEM trident looking ones. But when we were deciding on the GT there were quite a few different rim choices and some were pretty bad, so I definitely see what you're saying.

And I do agree Overfinch should have a better website. For what it's worth, they do have pretty high quality brochures.

 

Sorry luxury1, my attempt at dry humor must have hit a little too close to home for you. But what would someone who leases their Range Rover and worries about the prices of trinkets like in-car entertainment systems and running boards know about the habits of the TRULY wealthy?

In addition, your argument makes no sense. Just because Bill Gates founded a company which makes computer equipment means that he's an internet junkie? So next are you going to tell me that the Heinz family eats a lot of ketchup? Or the family that owns Trojan likes to have safe sex? Most peoples' occupations have nothing to do with their passions. Your childlike views on making money might explain why you are so unsuccessful at it.

 

Sorry, I didn't know that was a joke since it wasn't even remotely funny.

I think you are right, Bill Gates doesn't know much about the internet and I don't think he really knows how to use it. Also, you are right, Heinz stays away from ketchup (and I know that you are confident that ketchup is their only product anyway).

Not that it is any of your business but I am not a wealthy person. Every time I step onto my friends private aircraft I am reminded of just how poor I am. My houses are nice but there are bigger ones with more garage slots or ones that have a better piece of beach, etc.

Also you don't realize how cheap I am. I paid cash for 3 of 4 cars but I do lease the Rover and actually pay monthly (for now). I question every expense including my electricity, water, gas, etc. and hate paying bills. This is because I didn't come from big money, I just make a couple of bucks now (but like I said, I am not private jet money).

thelokolobo I know you are not wealthy either from your previous posts so I don't know why you would go on the offensive. I am certainly not in a competition with anyone but when I saw your post about rich people not using the internet (which turned out to be a hilarious joke) I jumped in because I knew it was wrong. Not from my own experience but from watching the really high rollers that I know.

Flex those dollars buddy...

 

thelokolobo, I thought of the perfect gift that you could give Bill Gates for a Christmas present:

They have one on Microsoft Office also if you wanted to go all out.

 

My original post turns out to be factual, as evidenced below.

From a Cornell University Study:
"The study, reported in the March 2008 issue of the journal Information Economics and Policy, shows that low-income households spend more time on the Internet than others, using it for e-mail, researching purchases, finding health information and reading news, just as other users do, although spending more time on chat and gaming than the affluent...The researchers conclude that the main reason for the difference in Internet use was the "opportunity cost of leisure time" -- that low-income users have fewer other uses for the time that they find more valuable. People in all income groups reported having about the same amount of leisure time."

You didn't have to tell me you weren't wealthy. It's a small world. If you were important, I would have heard of you. Due to my sense of noblesse oblige, I will refrain from replying to the rest of your hilarious retort.

 

Yes, I want you to look for Luxury1 in the WSJ. I remember when I was born, my parents said, "Let's name him Luxury1" and that is how I became known.

Don't worry thelokolobo (2004 HSE), it doesn't matter either way. You don't need to spend any time defending your position as I really don't care either way. Let's call it you were right OR your joke was funny. Just do me a favor and relax a little because you will kill your health being so wound up.
