Too much money

Yesterday I was at a traffic light on Yamato and Powerline in Boca Raton. During the 1 minute wait I saw 5 Porsches pass by (not including mine). 3 996's, one each Boxter and Cayenne. Where is the exclusivity?

Sounds like somebody needs an Enzo, McLaren or CGT to stand out.

I just got back to the office from a meeting and in the last 5 miles I saw a red Modena, 2 turbo's and 4 996 cabs. So much for having a dope car. But 2 of the cabs had hot chicks in them. So I'm not hating. . . just appreciating.

Lucky for me all of the cars were stock!

I think the fact that people of a certain class/wealth tend to own similar cars and frequent similar establishments has something to do with it
