Just makes me sick.

Driving down the road the other day and I get behind a convertible Porsche. Oh and do not get me wrong it was a very nice car, and I liked it personally cause it was black. But as I look at the driver of the car, he looked like he was 18 or something.

WHOA!!!!

How in the heck did this 18 year old get to drive a Porsche?!?!

After a couple seconds of being confused the feeling of anger swept over me. I realized that I was driving through an upper class neighborhood and it was not surprising to see the nice cars and spoiled kids.

So, here is my problem. It is obvious some people have more money than they know what to do with to give a new driver a very pricey sports car. The reasons being:

1 - These cars are very expensive and from what I gather you need to special order them. Meaning that they require a lot of money up front, and a heavy shipping fee to get it delivered.

2 - Most all new drivers 15-21 do some stupid stuff. Showing off, hot roding, and other stupid things. So an accident is going to happen, and that expensive car will be ripped to pieces.

3 - Everyone knows about these cars are expensive, and driving it around lets everyone know you have money. Just like a status symbol.

So, what makes me really sick is the fact that this 18 year old kid has this very nice car, and cruising around in it. I am certain he did not buy it and has no great respect for it. He also probably does not pay the insurance on the car, cause being a sports car and a convertible it is bound to be costly. He is likely having everything they want given to him, and not earning or respecting it. And here I am along with several other of the US citizens with barely enough to make ends meet and driving a car that needs more work done to it that it is worth, and still making payments on it.

My problem with this whole situation is that these people that are making the big bucks, yeah I am sure they have some big bills to pay too, and that is a problem. Should they live like everyone else, and buy all this extra crap (Status Symbols) they could be using all this extra money in their areas improving the economy. Take the money it cost for that freaking Porsche and by a 24,000 car and take the rest and buy gas, food and drinks from the local gas stations. They can go buy a pallet of food from Wal Mart and donate it to a food bank, or give some money directly to the food banks, to where they can help feed people that need it. Or heck... go by about 15 cars for the price of that Porsche and donate the cars to charities for helping them get funds to pay for their services (Shriners).

It just makes me sick to see these people that have all this money, and them wasting it on material things and yet their neighbor is having a hard time keeping their electricity on in their house and sharing 1 car for the family.
