Well 60% of the time I like the stock cars, depending on the good marketing I can be seriously tempted to get certain brand stuffs

In this case the GTC will remain stock

Thanks for the kinda subliminal marketing lol

Yes I agree that Forge have awesome products but I´m kinda selective on which car must be "modified"

By the way Forge must expand to Latin America!

Mexico, Brazil and Argentina are full of rich people that want to make look more awesome their cars

Nothing subliminal about this! We plainly want you to get some wheels for the Bentley, that car just pops with these ... but if you are keeping the fine English gentlemen stock, we can always hook up the rest of the stable if you'd like

It takes guts to buy a Bentley with a color other than black, silver or white. The same seems to hold true for Aston Martins as well. Buyers may like other colors better but when it comes time to part with their cash, they more often than not, will play it safe and buy a black, silver or white one. This is what my Bentley dealer and an Aston Martin dealer told me. For instance, my blue GTC (before I bought it) had a potential buyer who came all the way from Louisiana to Texas to buy it. He drove off in a white one instead.

Man-up Wedgeduck.

I actually ordered a black GTC and waited 4 months for delivery. When I arrived at the dealership to take delivery, a blue GTC was on the showroom floor and I was smitten. During the 4 hour wait to get my black GTC, I kept looking and looking at the blue GTC and all the while thinking about what the sales guys had said about colors. And I kept wondering "do I have the guts to do what I really want?". As the salesman was filling out the paperwork on the black GTC, he said "Do you know why I like dealing with you?" I said no, why. He continued "You are very deliberate in choosing your cars. You study every option and you have the patience to wait until you get what you want. You just don't come in here and pick up something off of the showroom floor."

Four hours later I wrote him a bigger check and drove the blue GTC off of the showroom floor. I showed him.

No salesman that guy. He thought he was confirming the sale with you, not knowing what was really going on in your head.

I'm similar. I'll make firm business decisions without waffling around (that's how we all become successful I suppose, along with some luck), but for the past month I've been vacillating on buying a couple of high priced electric recliner chairs.

Nothing wrong with them or the price - they are contemporary without the overripe plushness of some old folk's chairs, but my main thought was - we're turning into Ma & Pa Kettle. It was a buying decision that had nothing to do with the design, but everything with becoming like every other 60+ year-old and turning into an old-fashioned icon.

My policy about aging is not to fight it, but not to buy a lifetime's worth of cardigans either. With cars it's a lot harder. We can look like we're having a second midlife crisis, when in fact I've had open top sportscars for most of my life, and certainly in the last 20 years. And the Bentley fits nicely into the mix without making us look though we need to keep the toupe plastered down.

So I bought the chairs, with a 5 month wait from Italy. To heck with appearances, I want comfort!
