I agree, but I still question Viper's motives.</blockquote>
But if Viper is sincere, I'll volunteer to be his new best friend in Coto. I can see myself with a welcome basket of homemade chocolate chip cookies in one hand holding my pool towel and sunblock in the other hand.

Awgee, ..you are very correct. Those who grew up with money (Parents were wealthy), have no clue about the "Value of a dollar".
Look at Paris Hilton. She never has to worry about money for her entire life. People like this, tend to spend and shop like no tomorrow, because they don't realise how difficult it is to earn even $100 working a "normal job".
Others, like me, who originally grew up in the middle class, and through hard work, dedication, and God's grace, have managed to earn their money, tend to be more value conscious. For me, there are some things I value, and some things I dont.
Jewlery - I don't wear any, and do not own any gold rings or jewlery. I don't even have a watch. My I-Phone is my time keeper.
Cars - Yes, I'll spend top dollar for them. Enzo, Lamborghini, Viper, Escalade....any day.
Clothing - Macy's, Sears, JC Penny, and suits from 3 Day Suit Broker. (no Nordstroms, no Men's Warehouse, or any speciality store).
Food - I love fast food like Carl's JR, Subway, and Johnny Rockets, Fat Burger, Red Robin, etc (Houston's in Pasadena is a nice treat for me after closing a good deal). Actually, I am a half decent cook, and love to cook at home in my spare time.
Housing - I have never owned a home larger than 3400 sqft. But business is good, and I really want to purchase a huge house and not have move for the next 15-20 years. (It's a thank you to me for working heard all these years).
CalGal, you'll be the first I invote to the house warming party, my promise!!!!
Just give me some time to get to know everyone on the board. (I know I am a new member)
Believe me, I am not looking to scam that homeowner, I wanted to purchast that home (through my company), but someone beat me to it.
So I am hoping I can find the new owner, and offer him a small profit to sell the home to me.
Thanks....and Happy 4th everyone,
UZY
