mjr24- Not digging at you by any means, but they are finding wrong information then. The house is double that in value and 1k sq. ft. bigger than stated. Median value in the area is 260k and thats because people are building these 100k spec homes out west of me. I will say homes are down right now an average of 50k in the area. People can speculate anything they want. They don't know if I just added a guest house and pool, irrigation system, or anything else, see what I'm getting at. They are trying to make sense of everything and there is no reason for it. When we built this house 3 years ago I spent 5 nights a week in foreign countries. I didn't feel the need to build a 1 mil plus home and pay 25k a year in property tax. But they knew all that too, because they know me and my life. At first it pissed me off, now it has become entertaining to watch people tell me about my life I only get to Chicago about once a year, but I'd be more than happy to hit the town with you.

AR.Shah- Thanks for the kind compliments. It's impossible to win on the internet. Everything just leads to another accusation. Seems most people are quick to judge and are more interested in other peoples business than their own.

Funny comment here. You don't want people assuming that you can't afford the car and talking about your finances but you make a slam about people 230's and 320's and also have no clue of theirs. Kind of the same thing don't you think??

I also thought that you were done with this thread.

Im good. Just had my collection up in the Audi Showroom on Park Avenue for the past week. Now - we have to contact buyers from the stores and sell sell sell !

A lot of people went into AUDI thinking they could buy the pieces right out of the window. haha - They gave my contact info, and my PR company's contact info to get in touch with us.

Great Publicity.

I havent been to the gym since last week - and I shouldn't miss quite so many days, but i forgive myself.

Tonight is the Jewish New Year - so we have a big dinner later on - saving my appitite.

Maybe i will go for a run before I have to get showered and dressed.

LOL - i know.

If I get a Gallardo - i better not drive it around manhattan... the potholes are AWFUL for the AMG 19s.... and the Gallardo wheels/tires are even more sensitive to the road imperfections due to their lower profile.

Hot car though - I would get it just like Most Wanted's Yellow with Black interior. or a Boyish Blue with Black inside.

E Gear for sure since id probably drive it in Manhattan and with traffic the way it is - I cant drive stick in it!

Its not a practical car - but its got to be one of the sexiest looking "affordable" exotics (Affordable doesnt mean its cheap. lol .. .means its it not a $300,000 exotic)

Who couldn't buy one and make 4-5 payments on it and then sell it for probably what the principal due is at that time? That isn't anything to envy. Anyone with $10k sitting around could do that, true?
Excellent point, and well said. Many people can afford to throw down $2500 (rent money here in SoCal) for a few months and sell the car to get back those payments!

Still, Hot wife and hot car! More pics please!

Normally I dont like yellow cars but this is a fantastic yellow metallic colour. How much does this car aprox. cost over there? Here we have 180% duty and 25% VAT on all cars, so basically you end up buying 2 for the goverment and 1 for youself

Thats one disgusting tax!

Here - its approx. 170K plus 8% lux tax ? plus some city tax etc.... I dont remmeber exactly. I should know - ill look on my bill for the 550.

180% duty means what? If you buy a $100K car... you pay $180K on it?! or do you mean 80% of the car's value? (meaning $80K tax) When you say 2 for the government and one for yourself.... i believe you meant $180K tax on a $100K Car.... and that would scare me to another country! haha

I do know, in Hong Kong - its a 100% Tax....some famous hotel bought like 12 RR PHantoms for $800K each ($400K plus $400K tax).

There is a black gallardo in my neighborhood. Its very intense looking - shines very well - but you lose A LOT of the detail in the car when it is in black.

The bright loud colors (besides attracting all the stares and attentions) show the lines, airdams, arches, shapes, etc much better than when its a dark car.
