It does not get better..says Donald Trump
Discussion
As an alternative to the oily-rag discussions on these forums, I will post a slightly deeper, if more esoteric, discussion.
Donald Trump said once, in his megalomaniac advice to budding billionaires, "Whatever you buy, you gotta know, eventually, that it's gonna break. The fancy yacht, the fancy car, whatever."
What the quiffmeister was getting at has irked me ever since. It didn't stop me from using my earnings from Tesco in buying a tired Left-hook 928S4 as a student in Uni, or from the quite satisfying 'predicament' of owning a beautiful Tuscan now.
I don't have enough money to live off the interest of the interest on my savings. I know my car will break.
In fact, the allure of having such a tempermental beast, so unpredictable, is precisely what drew me to this thing, away from the machine-gunned laser-drilled accuracy of Porsches, Ferraris, and even Lambos nowadays.
A Stalth Bomber actually drips fuel at rest on the ground. This is because it is only at supersonic speeds that the carbon panels heat up sufficiently to form proper seals round the fuel tank. It is rare, frightening, and defiantly broken a lot of the time.
Remind you of annything?
