ahahahahhaaha nicely put!but i already been here for a few times, so i know how badly things can go actually i have a few friends here that have such amazings stories...
so you've been here too?
Not yet... just been to HK --had the option but, at the time (pre-handover) it was still sort of a backwater without as much attention. People told us that since we go to Vegas every year it wouldn't be the same. Now I know it's become it's own animal, but that was after they broke up monopoly that kept it just Ho's hotels (Lisboa and the other one). I did, however, invest in Sands and Wynn after they opened properties there and they've rebounded pretty quickly in the recession thanks to the sheer amount of revenue being generated in Macau (despite the fact that they have to pay over 25% tax on gambling proceeds vs. 7% in NV).
What the hell? Is Macau that insane?
It was a key point here.
I lightly picked up on your scenario with the cars, but was not quite sure. I thought you might have rented them as part of a higher end "samplers package" of sorts. Being able to borrow them makes it all the more worthwhile.
After watching your video I can definitely say that those rolls are definitely cars that will destroy their (long term) owners. Cars like that (multiple mechanical motors, actuators, sensors all for frivolous, unnescessary extra features) end up being money pits after the first few years. Dealing with BMW after warranty is hard enough, I couldn't even fathom Rolls. Unless your the O.G. purchaser from dealership then you would be in for a raping in most cases. The way they handled the Idrive situation on the one model is pretty fucked up.
In regards to your profession, I asked because I picked up on your voice right away. I fail to remember what state you reside in (so i'm not sure how feasible an option it is) but you should take a look into voice acting (commercials, voice over, radio, advertising, etc).
Just figured I would throw that out there as that was the first thing that came to mind when the video started playing.
Thanks --I've always been tempted to try voice acting, but never gone through with it. Ever since I was a kid I was the one they would ask to be an emcee or announcer at events --it made up for the fact that I was always picked last for soccer
