wow, i didnt know it was that long.

I hope everyone has been good. And healthy.

I am better now, after 5 back operations, i feel ok enough to drive again, for about 4 years i couldnt hardly drive. So I'm back.


The reason i'm posting this is I want to clear up a few rumors about me that were called to my attention recently. It's going to make the haters mad, but i'm not broke. Nope. I bought a Drophead Phantom and a Bentley Super Sport on the same day last January. Drop head has almost 300 miles on it now. I drover it to the Jay Leno video thing I did with the GTR a couple months ago. That was fun, I met Jay few years ago and we have a mutial friend(a commedian), I still havent learned to spell, LOL

I sold the Sultians mansion in Vegas, no it was not forclosed on, I sold it for more than I paid for it, but still lost 20M-something to make the haters happy, I just was not using it, the nut was pissing me off. So I sold it and am also selling my house in LA(which I own) oops now the haters might get mad.

Still have all the commercial property in Vegas and even tho we paid cash for it in 02-03 before the boom, its worth less than we paid on about 50% of the buildings, some are worth more than we paid, overall we still lost $$. But having 100% equity is better than nothing. those are forsale as well-we dont think the commercial market in Vegas will recover. I wanted to sell a couple years ago but my partner didnt, oh well.


on to cars, yes i have a pile of Lambo's for sale. Not because i'm broke. I'm just not in to cars like I was before. I still love Lambo's-I dont even know the name of the Murci successor, I do know I'm buying one forsure, but I have ignored cars for the past 5 years, I never heard of the Bentley Super Sport, I just happened to see it when I was buying the Drophead and popped on it(Super Sport) and bought 2 cars on the same day.


I'm not selling ALL of my cars, I'm not sure how many i'm gonna sell. I'm just not into it like before. Laying in bed suffering in pain for that long changed me. I have a whole new set of values and priorities. I was getting board with cars before the economy crashed and sold the Enzo(nice payday too ) It also was too light and I'm a Lambo guy, I've had 3 Ferrari's the Enzo was is the only one I kinda miss. I do miss pushing the start button and hearing it fire up. The Super Sport Bentley feels almost as fast-I know its not, but from 80-120mph it would be real close to the Enzo IMO. Perhaps my memory has faded some.


Whats my future plans? Mite buy a house in Bev Hills. Another plan is to live in NYC/Miami and stay where the weather is best. I ave had a apt in BH since july 94 and unless I buy a house there I'm keeping my apt. I'll always keep a RR in Bev Hills. Another plan is to go check out Argentina and Urguray I know a friend who is doing well there and living there and summers in Germany/Italy/Monaco might be a option. So I dont need as many cars and I'm just not into it like I was. But I will always have a fresh Lambo.


Bad news is I had to lazer off my Lambo bull tattoo to make room for a full back tattoo(good news). I have 32 sittings and 210hours of work on it over the past 29 months-started it in march 09. I'm going to have a new bull tattoo done one of these days. I want to finish the back piece first, its all free hand. No stencil tracing.

So thats the scoop, I aint broke, I am selling off all the things anchoring me down and sitting tight on my cash, no stock market for me, havent done that since 99. Lots of options to begin a new chapter in my life, at 44 yrs old. Kelly has been with me now 12 years and we still aint ever had a argument. It dont get any better.

best,

Eric

PS: I'll be sure and log in more than once every 2 years, man time is clicking by fast

PPS: I'm planning on doing the CHP run this year with the blue GTR, I hope I can make it.

Glad to hear all is good and the back is feeling better, Eric.
