No thanks, I like serving my country and I'm completely content.

You folks, and I really want to use a stronger word here, don't seem to be getting the point. Perhaps you've forgotten how to comprehend the written word. I don't have this attitude. I was painting a picture for the poster. My attitude rocks. I'm already up.

The "ladder" has been open to me many times, and I find the smell up there too foul to want to make the climb. It is by choice, not because I don't work hard enough, or I am not educated enough to be invited to take the steps.

Some people have,...."issues." To all who read this thread, you decide who has the "issues."

I understand, for me, what I've read.

Thanks, I guess I'm not the only one content with my less than six figures. I'm glad my writing has stirred up such content. Obviously the original poster was just trying to stir the pot and I guess I'm the only one who sees that. My response was intended to give him the answer he wanted. Some people need to get over themselves. Lol.

This makes me smile

haha, assuming others have "issues" because of a few comments on a forum is probably an "issue" some people have of their own.

I just appreciate the fact that he or she intelligently made their point without directly attacking anybody. Well put comments.

I guess I'd been thinking it's less about the car . . .and more about the driver.

Go figure . . . matters not to me what others think about my car- I enjoy the heck out of it. What I earn is nobody's business.

To each their own -- just my .02.

I haven't got my vette but I have these questions asked.

Why a vette? My answer, life is too short, live a little.
Did you win the Lotto? My answer, I did not know being a Lotto was a requirement to purchase a vette.

I don't think its hate in my case. I am usually the very practical guy and probably they did not see the corvette coming. My 2 cents.

We're all worth 7 figures. Problem is with the damn decimal point.

Read this part of your post several times. Hopefully you'll see that the car isn't your problem.
