no, i'm not..



he even had a lift built for the ferrari. he parks the lexus underneath it.


i don't know how to prove otherwise.. but im not lying. (what about the hvac vents..) they are closed by turning them.. which is wierd.. and I wouldn't know that unless i was in the car

A few photographs will do. He can certainly afford these luxury and I would think he's got a digital camera or five lying around at his place.

Who cares if he is. Let the gearheads drool over the thought for a while and brighten someone's day... that is, until they go for a ride in their's old beater and their dream comes crashing down like an egg off the empire state building.

He had his house built on the highest point in alpharetta. when some dork in his neighborhood built a house that had two more floors than his (higher than his house..) he built this tower thing with a spiraling staircase to make it the highest point again

he talked about his insurance is 14k/year?

I dunno. this guy's not my friend.. he's a friend of mine's client (who I was helping setup wireless..)

no no, his house is right on the road, but 7 miles back behind his house there is another main road. he had this long ass damn driveway poured so he can just go straight to the main road, and not have to deal with the fsckers at the gate at the front of his neighborhood

I still call BS. I don't give a goofy goddamn if he lives in Alpharetta, Buckhead, or Roswell. You may KNOW of this guy, but he didn't take you for a ride.

Assuming that it was cheaper asphalt, only 12 feet or so wide, and on relatively flat terrain, the grading and paving of such a driveway would cost roughly $50 per foot (gravel would be MUCH cheaper while concrete would be much more expensive). Which means that 6 miles would cost about $1,584,000.
But then again, let's discuss how someone would have 6 miles of property. I mean... does he own the whole damn township or just 6 straight sections (at 640 acres per section, a section being a square mile).
I bet he has a nice damn house and some nice damn cars...

Their was a story in a british car magazine (top gear) about a house owned by a lady in the middle of nowhere in america that had a 7 mile road to get to the front door, the writer Jeremy Clarkson took a vette to 175mph down this road. The story goes that although the location is secret(ish) the road was built by the local state government but since the lady did not live their anymore it was not as good as it once was.

Alpharetta is pretty populated. I doubt there would be that much of undeveloped land up there.

I'm with millenium.

He coulda taken you for a more reasonable ride, he could have told you what the car was reasonable, there's no fvcking way he pulled out his ferrari and ran it cold to 150mph on a "private" road.
