What else is happening today? (Other than zoom classes)…
Gotta drop the car off at the mechanic… again…
Again?!?!?!
Yeah… it’s okay, I’ve already talked about this with Dad and Bro… it’s not a big deal… but I gotta go again…
Will you be staying in the lounge again? With the zoom classes?
No — they’ve organised a courtesy shuttle bus for me this time to get home and be picked up when the car’s ready.
Oh… you could’ve done that last time…
True — but it was actually better I was in the lounge that day because there was a lot that we could just talk about face to face.
Oh… okay…
Today we don’t need to talk, they can just do the work, and it’s gonna take a whole day.
Oh I see…
Then next month I gotta go to the mechanic again, for Mum’s car…
Constant… mechanic trips…
Yes! — Urgh — how many cars do you have?!?!?!
(Giggles) — You don’t have to worry about that. I’ve got a guy who’s already taking care of them.
How many…?
(Sheepish grin)… how many am I allowed to have?
(Sigh)… not more than 10?
Not more than 10?!!?!
Wait — how much are you worth?!?!?!
What?!?!?!?!
The number of cars you’re allowed to own, depends on your net worth.
What do you mean?
Okay, if you are worth LESS THAN $500 million USD — you are allowed up to 10 cars. Maximum. If you are actually in the bracket of between $500 million and a billion — we know you’re not a billionaire — then you’re allowed up to 20 vehicles. How about that?
(Giggles and laughter)… okay… so I’m allowed 10 cars? What about motorbikes?
I meant 10 vehicles. In total. You’re allowed 10 vehicles — cars, motorbikes, boats, yachts, jet skis. Whatever you want but only a total maximum of 10.
WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?! (Really thinking about and tallying what he currently owns…)
Why would you need more?!?!?! It’s ridiculous to own that much!!! You’re not even home 80% of the year and there’s “some other guy” getting paid to “take care of them” — ?!?!
Hmmm…. okay…. I’ll cull it to just 10…. total of 10…..
If you’re in the next category, over $500 million then you get to have up to 10 cars, and up to 10 other vehicles — boats, motorbikes, jet skis, etc.
Right… so I have to reach that bigger category…
No, you don’t! I have no ambitious desires for you to reach that category. I can barely fathom — what our lives would really be like — if you catapult into there. It’s a lot. It’s overwhelming to think about.
There’s NO RUSH — to get there!
(Smiling, nodding, accepting)…
What cars can I have then?
Sigh… okay you want me to list out all 10 vehicles?
Yes, please…
UGH!!!!
Let’s just say there’s 9 for now… I don’t know when or how we’re going to get a boat — because you really want a boat — but I’m not ready for that yet! We’ll leave a slot for the boat. So I’m only going to list 9…
Okay…
- Motorbike
- Motorbike
- Motorbike
You don’t have any preferences for motorbikes?
No. Not really. I’m assuming you’re the only one riding them?
You don’t want a motorbike? Not even a scooter?
No……………………. I don’t…………… need it………………………………….
Okay. So three of the motorbikes are mine.
Yes, my dear — occasionally — I will ride with you — but — it won’t happen that often.
^__^ Love that thought… ❤ ❤ ❤
4. Small Car (mine)
5. Town car — for drives to Brisbane, or around Gold Coast, etc.
6. Four-Wheel Drive — for glamping.
7. Your own… whatever the fuck you want.
8. Your own… whatever the fuck you want.
9. Your own… whatever the fuck you want.
That’s it. That’s 10 vehicles including the future boat.
Yes… I guess that’s it…?
(Smiles) Do you want a Jaguar or Aston Martin for the Town Car? Or the Four-Wheel Drive?
Umm… I don’t think I want them for that… I don’t know!
Didn’t we talk about Lexus before? And BYD?
Oh… yeah…
Let me re-list this:
4. Small car (mine) — BYD Dolphin — PINK.
5. Town car — Lexus — sedan… I’m not sure what colour yet… maybe silver? Or dark blue?
6. Glamping car — BYD? — Or Jeep?!
Jeep might be one of my “whatever the fuck I want” —
Okay, so the glamping car is a BYD four-wheel drive…
You really like BYD?!?!?!?!
Well… I don’t know! That one is not set in stone at all. I’m not even that fussed with four-wheel drives. We can finalise that decision later… I don’t really know about that one. Don’t take it that seriously!
Okay…
Yeah. I guess that’s it?
So my three are gonna be: Jeep, Jaguar, Aston Martin.
Oh?! You think so?
Yeah…
We just need to decide on that glamping four-wheel drive…
Does it have to be a hybrid?
Mmm… I’m googling to have a look…. most of them are, these days, though? The new ones?
Subaru?
NO!!!!!! NEVER A SUBARU!!!!!
Why not?!
It reminds me of exes………………..
(Crossing that out) NEVER a Subaru…………….
Thank you………!
What about a Toyota?!
Which Toyota?!
Or a Land Rover?
I don’t know…. you know what?! You get 4 car slots. You can decide on the Four-Wheel drive, as long as it’s not a Subaru…
OH! BMW X5.
(Laughing)… so I don’t get to decide on the Four-Wheel Drive…
Yes… I’m just scrolling through an online article now… BMW X5. Let’s go with that for the glamping car. That’s it.
(Smiles)
We can change them up, every few years, right?!
(Nodding, smiling)
Exactly. So that’s why — it makes more sense to keep it that way. We can change them. But we don’t need more than 10 at a time.
(Smiling, nodding)… ^__^ I’m feeling very happy right now…
That’s good! I’m glad that you’re feeling happy!
Now I have to go eat breakfast…
I love you…
I love you too!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxxx
