Just need to find a way to heal mentally like driving the Lambo :)

I'm driving it a lot these past few weeks, too depressing staying home in the evenings. I also have to fix a recent issue on the C7, when hot the car would start and die within seconds, I ordered a MAP sensor, hopefully it fixes the issue, I'm taking it on a 5+ hour drive with my cat to visit my mother in 2 weeks.

I was sitting in a parking lot putting a destination in my app when a guy stopped by tilted his bicycle back on a stand and walked over, saying loudly "damn!" He had a satchel and headphones around his neck. He stooped to look in my driver window that was slightly ajar. He asked how much it cost. As I lowered my window the black man had down syndrome so I obliged and told him the price tag. He went on saying he had the same one at home. A diecast I asked? It was a yes.

He then asked me if I had a wife, I said no. That's when he said "nice" and proceeded to initiate a fist pump and walked away.

Later on on my way back a guy exclaimed, "can I get a ride?"

Sitting at a picnic table at a chip stand, the car sitting across in a parking lot in plain view, two Filipinos at the next table asked a few questions about the car. A funny one though he asked how much horsepower it had, when I told him he replied 610 he said the other guy thought it had 350hp. :D
He said "Wow it must be a rocket."
Then like everyone else they ask what I do for a living... I told him my story in a nutshell. He said in the Philippines only actors would have such a car. I told him if he worked hard enough, maybe start a business, being smart and saved his money it could happen.

I went to watch the sunset and listening to music in the car when two 18 year old approached, one of them saying to his friend I've seen him before then asking me if he could take pictures, so I got out of the car. He said to his friend, "there's a big difference between this car and my beater." I replied I had many beaters before this one, I recounted a story of one of my hooptie, I had a friend in the passenger seat and he said he felt bumps under his seat, I stopped got out of the car to realize the seat had punched through the rotted floor board and was hanging just above the pavement and every time there was a little bump the seat would drag on the asphalt. I remember afterward and didn't have a chance to say but the car at the end of it's life used 1-2 quarts of oil every week, blue smoke came out of the exhaust. when I had tailgaters or road ragers I would rev the engine at a red light and completely obscure them in a smoke cloud.

He replied "we all have to start somewhere."

He then asked "as an 18 year old and you had do this again how would I get one of these?". I explained I wish the lightbulb turned on for me decades sooner and gave him the idea to stop being an employee for life, to start a business and to save his money. Not any business but to research what is profitable. I told him as an employee unless he became something like a doctor the odds were very low. His silent friend tapped him on the stomach with an expression on his face of yes he gave us the golden ticket to success!

Of course he asked me what I did for a living but replied I preferred not to say. They went back to his car, I went back to my tunes and sunset. As I left he asked for a rev, I gave him 2 small ones not to disturb the others too much.

Just wanted to report a small incident with the AC installer that saw my Lambo. I bought a second unit from the same retailer and they again sent the same subcontractor. After seeing my car and valuables in the garage and house his attitude changed. He claimed the hose was too large, demanded an unreasonable extra fee and acted unprofessionally. The manufacturer confirmed the unit could be installed without issue and I verified it myself.

I have filed a complaint with the retailer and will take steps to block the view of my garage and post a clear notice that the property is under video recording.

It's funny how material things can make people change.

Wow that's pretty stupid of him. If he would of been nice who knows he might of gotten a tip.

For me usually when I work for those that are wealthy they are arrogant. I once worked for a semi retired attorney who had a firm. The house looked like huge commercial building, epoxy floors throughout the house, in the garage and a porsche logo imbedded in the epoxy. His attitude changed when he saw the diecast lambo on my dash. He tried not to pay taxes then he refused to pay at bill at all. He had the audacity to ask me after I did some work if I was going to charge him again because he had ordered a wrong part. He ignored my phone call to get paid until I sent him a text, a text nowadays has legal value and can't be ignored and finally got paid. It was only a few hundred dollar bill!

I'm working on the garage and need to put the lambo in the driveway during the daytime, it's such a chore to move both cars, rush put covers on, a bunch of cardboard to disguise the shape of the lambo and put my work van in such a way it's harder to see the car from the main artery. I remember you suggesting some privacy screens. I should look into it.

I think Amazon has some garden privacy screens. One side is fixed with a rolled curtain you can pull across and lock on the other side. I’m not sure how sturdy the unit is in strong winds, and since the bolts and fittings are made in China, the quality is most likely subpar.

As for the installer, he seemed to think I had a small oil reserve. Despite being rude and intimidating, he actually asked if I planned to order a third and fourth AC because he said he'd be ready to install them for me. LOL. It's amazing he thought intimidation would win him business. I may look like a mild nerd on the outside, but there’s plenty of hail and storm inside if someone crosses me.

After consulting with a lawyer, he suggested me giving out business cards with the following writing (in Japanese of course). Video cams like car cam recorder ensures that both parties are protected in case of dispute and troubles can be avoided:

Important Notice
This property and its interior are under continuous video surveillance.

All persons performing work or providing services must present a business card or employee ID clearly showing the name of their actual employer and their own name, and must conduct their duties in a professional and appropriate manner.

Concealing one's company name, exerting pressure in sales activities, giving false explanations, or making unreasonable price demands are strictly prohibited. Entry will be refused for non-compliance.

Pursuant to Articles 3 and 11 of the Act on Specified Commercial Transactions and Articles 415 and 709 of the Civil Code, any violations will result in immediate legal action based on the recorded evidence, and the matter will be handled by our legal counsel.

You are going to scare them off!
When you greet them at the door, walk them by the dungeon...They are sure to behave. :p

That dungeon walk sounds like a good idea :ROFLMAO: I need something very intimidating on my entrance.

I have a contractor who will be upgrading my garage ceiling lights to LEDs. When I brought it up, he seemed surprised but was very polite, honest, and humble. He said he would make sure this would never be an issue with his team. I think I scared him a little because he was overly polite on the phone too.

He worked on my garage years ago and at that time I only had him do a partial LED conversion because of low budget. Now I am having him complete the entire project.

Looked like the car got few admirers yesterday. The kid with mother stayed looking at the car for quite a while. I wasn't there to offer photos. My cam recorded everything.

I think most Japanese have no idea what car this is because the first thing they do are looking closely at the badge / emblem.

I also often get asked what car it is. They also ask what it costs and the one that tops them all is what do you do for a living.

I don't like to say the price tag so I usually say "a lot'. I'm trying to find a gentlemanl answer, any ideas?

I usually say cost like a new house. If the female is cute, I’d say “would you like to come to my house.” :) Alas, only old guys asked that question here so I didn’t get to use that pickup line.

I went to a client's house, on a shelf in the entrance was a white 1/24 Gallardo, I asked her who it belonged to. She said it belonged to her 16 year old and he loved Lambos, I didn't want to say I owned one so I asked if he ever attended the event. She didn't know about it so I told her to check for it next year to see the Italian cars parade and do demonstrations. She was surprised it was a yearly thing right in the city! I also suggested there's also supercars at a specific cars and coffee event.

A restaurant I go occasionally where the guy sees the cars on the lot said to me today, "what car do you drive in the winter or do you fly?". Meaning if I spend the winter down south... :oops:

You can tell him that Lambo has this winter event, every year, in Italy, to drive all their AWD cars in the snow.

I was walking back to my car behind a large department store, several teenagers were throwing toilet plungers at the sign hoping they would stick. :LOL: When they saw me they stopped, one of them said, "is that your Lambo over there."
"Yeah."
"Nice."
They decided to scoot because it wasn't working and I think they broke one of the light inside an individual letter. They hadn't planned it well the boulevard ran parallel with people stopping at the right light watching them...
