It’s definitely “I have been relatively successful, especially in Buffalo” rich. This is probably sarcasm, but I get pissed when people think a low seven figure net worth is “rich”.

I didnt realize he said low seven figure net worth. Are you kidding, 1,000,000 net worth is not rich?

(low 7figures, whats that mean 2-5 million net worth)?

I also want to say no one said rich people dont work hard.

Let me see, i made 47k last year, i bought a house 2 years ago and owe 80k on it, i owe 15k in car loans, and 4k in student loans.

My net worth is negative 100k. I am the middle class or more likely the poor class.

I guess i must amaze people like you with how i survive with my income.

Yeah I agree 100%, that was the point I was making and I completely respect working hard to get what you want. Again, beautiful car!

Congrats! manhagen, that butt doctor is a good guy and I’d rather hear that v10 ripping once in a while then see it sitting in a garage idle. Lambos don’t exist to ride under the radar IMO.

I saw the sedan as early as 10? Cruising through and clearing parked cars out of the aisles. By 1130 they were actively asking folks to leave…

looks great.  
but owning one with the 30K clutch replacement intervals can get pricey. Ive done a clutch on one with only 10K

Is this something someone can do at home or do you need a ton of special tools.

Not that I’ve ever done one, but I’d assume it requires rear bumper and engine removal just from the layout of the car I’d imagine

So after about 7 more years he will have to worry about it. I don’t think it will see much use. Maybe I’m wrong but I can’t even get more than 4 or 5 thousand miles on the mustang. And I drive it rain or shine.
