Millionairs on Lat-G?
 
It seems to me that there are alot of "wealthy" people on Lat-G.
I want to know the range of wealth on lat g.

You do not have to comment so that you can remain anonymous, just take the poll.

If you would like let us know what you do for a living.

It depends on your definition of wealthy; everyone's is different. I don't think there's a lot of millionaires on this site. We'll see how this goes.

MaxHarvard 12-03-2011 08:07 AM

I don't make anywhere near a 10th of a million.

Perceptions, perceptions!!!

You know I was just thinking that there are alot of guys on here recently with builds with Nelson Racing Engines going in them and we all know you have to be a baller to buy one of those. I was like..."dang, where are these guys getting this money for an engine for $20k+ and still have to build the car."

My guess is that even though it is anonymous, guys to the higher end of the scale will be less likely to respond to the survey. I thought twice, and I am nowhere near the high end.

I've started to see some posts and comments in regards to envy on multiple websites. It really pisses me off. Every American is born with the same opportunity to live a free life and make their own decisions. You've got a nicer car than me so some how you got the long end of the stick in life. Maybe he went out and WORKED for it? Made it happen for himself? Took a risk? Made his own luck? I can guarantee he didn't sit around with his tail between his legs and cry that sombody else has it better.....

^This. I see this especially as a union member, like somehow because I have a pension I am the scum of the earth. Its a race to the bottom.


We all have the same opportunity. Properly motivated there is almost no limit to your earning potential.

pokey64 12-03-2011 09:39 AM

Sure I'm a millionaire but I'm here to discuss cars not my bank statement. :rolleyes:

(Only half of my statement is true. I'll let you guess which part.)

Wrong thread my friend.

I always wonder what some people here do for a living, but never had I thought to ask what they make because honestly, it's none of my business.

In any case, cars are the ultimate ice breaker. As my dad says, "I don't have a pot to piss in, but when you talk to a guy about his Saleen S7, he doesn't give a dam. He just wants to talk cars."

MaxHarvard 12-03-2011 09:47 AM

I think it also needs to be said that it doesn't require you to be"wealthy" to have a badass car. There are many ways to do It, other than winning the lottery.

I suspect most folks with a substantial net worth know how to spell "Millionaire"

Stick to yer 1 liners. Haha
I agree with ya but don't see that going on in this thread, and the only relevance is the fact that its about monetary wealth.

But anyways we all know greg and charley are our resident ballers!

phillym5 12-03-2011 09:49 AM

Cool idea.
Im always intrigued with what kind of work brings good incomes. Its never about Envy... but really is interesting.

sik68 12-03-2011 10:09 AM

Wait, I thought we were all in the 1%. Isn't that the definition of pro touring?

intocarss 12-03-2011 10:26 AM

I base my wealth on the friends and family I keep, how I'm treated and how I treat others.....There for I am a rich man.

POVERITY IS OWNING A RACE CAR

Good answer...Maybe the people that bitch about not having enuf should look around and see what they have!. (instead of camping out in front of wall street)

RECOVERY ROOM 12-03-2011 11:24 AM

I kicked butt on Monopaly against the kids the other night, And now I can buy and sell Warren Buffett. Hell ya :lol: :lol:

Stuart Adams 12-03-2011 11:40 AM

Is the question about your salary or if you have a million bucks. Salary and millionaire are not the same. Especially if your a gambler.

Nicely said! By these standards I am a very rich man too! The only thing I would add is awesome friends and a stable job! :cheers:

Woops, I'm in the wrong thread. Thought he said billionair :rofl:

The key is to build a car that looks like a " million bucks" but at a fraction of the cost.

Spiffav8 12-03-2011 04:08 PM

Being 100% honest...I'm inclined to tell anyone who asks what I make or what I'm worth to go jump in a lake in a very impolite way. What is the reasoning for wanting this information and what's next are we going to be asked to break down the demographics of our group by race and religion?

I've got plenty of friends that make more money than me and more that make less. Who cares! I've always believed it's not how much you make, but what you do with it.

Bakaruda 12-03-2011 04:16 PM

I have been building my car from cash on hand, thats why it is in the 11th year.

Care to guess how many hours a year I work? If I was wealthy, I sure as hell wouldn't be doing what I'm doing and having to get up at 4:45am every day.

Who is "us", and please define "wealthy".

SWAPMEETCRAZY 12-03-2011 07:00 PM

Part of my "WEALTH" is the knowledge I acquire from this forum but I don't see anything "added" by the results of this poll..............jim :yes:
