Funny there are peacock contests "who has the most money", while we are all claiming to be poorer than the next guy.

Two years ago at the festival we were at a dinner banquet after a day of driving and parading, most were Ferrari owners and just a few Lambo owners and a Maserati or two. I didn't know anybody and sat at the only spot available at an 8 person table. One older guy (let's call him Bob) boasted the elderly gentlemen across the table about his fleet of car. The elderly guy not driving much anymore due to his age recounted all the cars he had, a at least 2-3+ millions of cars at least.

The man beside me who I got along with nicely me confided quietly he hadn't paid much for his old Ferrari, the price of a used Corvette. No one asked him his status. However since I had the bright orange Lambo, not to brag but the car stole the show that day, Bob asked me what I did for a living and how many employees I had. When I answered he was a little standoffish with a demeanor that my profession without any employees shouldn't make that much money to buy an exotic car.

Yep I was one of the poorest of the bunch, they all had suits for dinner and I was the "devil" in shorts with a Lambo shirt. :LOL:

Funny I saw 2 women preparing to take selfies with the car, but I need the number of the woman in the green dress, she was peeking back!

Are those guys in the crowd in the orange t-shirts part of your personal fan club ?

Teenage volunteers, they mostly watch cars so not to be vandalised or climbed on but since they are teens they don't always do that very well. I caught two immigrants who climbed the side skirt of the car and one of them trying to crawl in through my open window. Now I don't let windows or hood open for the public to see.

Last year while waiting in line for the demonstration I parked the car and went to see the demo when I came back there were dozens of handprints on the car. The first time to that event as soon as I parked, me still the car, a woman sat on my fender to get her picture taken, the event organizer told her to get the hell off. Many people here have no f****** respect especially immigrants.

Weren't that yellow t shirts?

This is the orange one for Luzifer :) No need for suits!

Wow, that shirt must cost a fortune and I can wager it's only available in small men sizes.

After years of searching I found some orange T-shirts that fit and are quick dry, however they are vibrant/high vis orange and afraid I would look like a fan boy/douche. I think I'll put one one this weekend to test.

That LV shirt should be around $1k and since it is a French maker, it has large sizes as well. Sometimes up to 5L. It is not true to its size and tend to fit bigger.

I don't mind paying for an exotic car or an expensive watch but I would never spend that much for a shirt much less paying to advertise their multiple logos on it.

I bought a couple Performante t-shirts a few months ago... I'm not sure why cause I'd never wear them out in public but I thought it was kinda cool as a collectible

So I bought another poor man's watch compared to these luxury Rolexes. I found another designer I find interesting, Ralph Christian. Apex Chrono in sunset orange. Seems like a quality watch hefting it. I checked out their site for instructions and stumbled on a different watch I like and thought maybe there's a promo code online somewhere and hot damn after typing the code I got a saving of $120! so I bought it on the spot.

Meanwhile I think I'm going to buy another Apex and return the duplicate to get the rebate.

Also realized I need to reset my date/time settings in my car (recently replaced my battery).

So after a few days of owning it how do you like it? I'd be curious if you ever got a replica to see to compare the differences.

That's quite nice in Orange - absolutely fits the color scheme of your car. Personally, I can't wear those rubber straps - I do too much messy DIY and never remember to take the watch off - with the steel bands I can throw them into the ultrasonic cleaner, but the rubber ones never seem to clean up.

But that watch, in blue - I could imagine owning.. Good find!
