    Umm, so it's my fault that some loser buys a Ferrari to "impress chicks"?

    Personally, I'm more turned on by men who ride bicycles. Or walk. But of course, if some loser buys a Ferrari to "get the chicks", it's automatically my fault - for existing, I suppose, since I have never in my life told a man I expected him to drive a fancy car. Or any kind of car at all. But the mere fact that I exist and that I have the kind of body that men seem to like is enough for all those losers to blame it on me that they've bought a fancy car?

    Your money, your wallet, your Ferrari; what do I have to do with it again?
