I've always wondered why people choose to drive a Lambo in sg. You can't drive the car to its full potential here with all the speed limits, traffic and traffic lights.

Any Lambo owners here?

Why?

Maybe life is fair...

[quote=\"carebear\"]They are so rich but why some still stay in executive condo?

I thought EC got income ceiling?

This is an illusion thing. Men generally want to be seen to be more successful than they really are. So let us say John is a Camry-level executive. He would be driving a Merc because he no longer aspires to a Camry and wants to be at the next level.

Of course there is a group that does the reverse - what some call the Quiet Millioinaires. These people are already successful and actually take the effort to dress down, look average, but invest their wealth to benefit their family's future rather than trying to look rich.

This world is a strange place. :?

It is true about the male ego.
One of my male colleague stays in a HDB flat but drives a 5 series BMW.
I once asked his wife whether they are going to upgrade, and she said if they upgrade then they cannot have the BMW.

Another male colleague who drove a Toyota Camry for a few years said he felt \"mah loo\" driving a Toyota and upgraded to a BMW.[/quote]Brand conscious?? Car is a depreciating asset, and the $$ paid for car is by no mean a small sum. What is impt is the car can serve its practical purpose, and I do not want to end up \"slaving\" for the car for the next xx years. The additional sum can be better used for investing in kid and our future.

Not all MediacCorp artistes earn big bucks. The big bucks come from endorsements etc. Basic salary with MediaCorp not that high.

But I thought some of those mentioned who live in the EC are high flying artistes who endorse products too.[/quote]Then maybe they underdeclare the income? :siam:

Can you imagine you drive a lambo and can’t parallel park?

LOLMum:
there is a white lambo in my tiny condo too. my kids and i love to check it out. luckily its designated car park lot is not next to mine.


used to see the orange ones on the road which is a really ugly colour (to me) but this is a white one and gosh, the body shape is really nice.

most mediacorp (besides zoe tay and fann wong) are filty rich from endorsements etc. most recent one to throw about 900k into the making of films is michelle chong.
I guess if you're driving a lambo because you want a flashy car, nothing gets flashier than bright orange. :laugh:

We think if we have something other men do not have, then we are superior. So fast cars, watches made for jet fighters or submariners, running shoes worn by Olympians etc etc.

but mediacorp pp are a rich bunch. ivy lee’s husband once said that his wife earned more than him (his take home is about 20-40k monthly).
