How the Other Half Lives

Every once in a while I get myself into a situation where I say " I never thought I would be doing this..." Well it happened again. A friend asked if he could use my truck and trailer for the weekend to move his race car. I obliged but I would need something to drive home. My choices, a Honda Passport, a Hummer H3 (not bad) or a Cadillac XLR...

Hmmmn... guess which one I picked?
The XLR is the sister car to the new C6 Corvette, except with a ton of bells lights and buzzers. Leather, performance, topless....$$80,000$$... Me, I don't think so. City workerrrrrr, remember!
Still it was nice, and for 47 hours and 148 miles I got a taste of how the other half lives.
Only one question... What does having "expendable cash" mean?

I live like the "other" other half--walking to work like an Amish man who had to shoot his horse...

encore308, I'm still trying to find you a low mileage mope with no rust. I'll bring one back at Christmas. A man has to have a horse!

in repliance to "dream dream, drama, dream", im not too sure what my dreams are. for a while i really wanted to teach spanish in puerto rico, but right now, chances are slim, unless i start studying night after night. but beside that, i really want to go into photography. my biggest dream is to travel europe, mexico and japan and publish a book full of my pictures.
