    The Beaverton is the Canadian Onion.

    Although it wouldn’t surprise me if something like this happened. But it wouldn’t be X3s… That’s not a rich guy car. I work with at least 5 guys that drive them.

    I love this. I can just imagine them paying poor people to drive and protest in their place too.

    As someone who makes ok money I’d like people to understand that there really isn’t lower, middle and upper class. There’s people with “Fuck you” money and people without “Fuck you” money. $250k is not “Fuck you” money.

        $250k in cap gains represents about a million dollars of gain. That’s not enough to retire for most Canadians and is definitely attainable by a lot of workers.

          I’d love a million dollars in gains in a year…

          Heck, I’d love to have even half a million dollars of total assets.

      Well, there IS an upper class here in the UK. It’s the people who own the country for the last thousand of years. Everyone else is a peasant in their eyes, no matter how much money you have.
