I will update some of these pictures and many new ones into Jimmy's World section ( JIMMY'S WORLD @ Jimmy540i.com) later today, be sure to check it out
1. I'm doing fine financially so jealousy isn't my issue.
2. One word comes to mind when I see someone hording resources like that... PIG.
To each his own though . Enjoy your toys, whoever you are (oink, oink).

Not that Im defending some kid who's clearly enjoying daddy's money but since you brought it up Id like to hear your idea of how you're enjoying your wealth? Try to put the vaporizer away for a serious reply for a change.
How about a brief [or detailed] summary of what's linked since membership is required?
You shouldn't need to be a member to view the link. Basically, Jimmy posted this same thread on the 1098 forum, more or less implying they were his cars. I posted the link to more pics of the cars that the owner had posted (55 pages, not Jimmy), then Jimmy deleted his post.

1. I never assumed that Jimi was the son of whoever owned that stuff. For all I know he climbed over the fence after parking his distorted Honda Civic.
2. I wouldn't describe my finances as wealth. Wealth means you never ever have to work (if you choose not to) and your kids will never have to either.
I enjoy my finances just because I'm happy to have a good job, a wife that works, a retirement plan, a home (with mortgage though), two kids, two cars, two motorcycles, two dogs, an off-grid cabin in the woods, and an occasional vacation. I just think that is enough and I'm happy with it (and let's remember, I'm 48 and I've been climbing the ladder for a while). Like Todd Rundgren said:
"I got myself caught in the middle somewhere and it's just where I want to be" and he continues...
"I'm talkin' 'bout your outsides...I'm talkin' 'bout your insides too"
I guess my point is, what is the point of having as many possessions as you can possibly fit into your life? It's a choice and it says something about that person, IMhumbleO. Some people are addicted to heroin and some people are addicted to possessions. Jimi's photos show the latter. The bizzare thing is that the car addict's house is just run-of-the-mill middle class - which makes it even more crazy.
And the vaporizer is not allowed at work or while operating heavy machinery or while driving. Aren't I responsible?

Ill have to try the link again but lastnight when I tried it wasnt showing any of the pics or words for that matter, maybe too much traffic....dunno.
Does the owner specify his profession cuz that collection just wows the hell out of me.
I know a guy locally who is a Porsche fanatic, at one time he owned about 3-4 all worth easily over $500K........but he at least drove the freakin things. And I DO mean drove them, he does trackdays with PCA. Last time I saw him he told me he was slowly getting rid of them cuz he bought an older F1 car (that's right F1!!!) that makes his Porsches feel like civics now. Imagine that?
A51- thnx for sharing I was just curious if you 'lived' a lil with your success.
No, tragic as it sounds, jimmy-woo's inserted himself into someone else's "dream" life...........tragic son, tragic.
