yep... hemp plants in the OP photo. The funny thing is that in about 10 years of inflation, the photo will be even less impressive.

What an affronting goof... really...show what really matters... your car HAHAHAH!

What is it about owning an expensive vehicle that makes people forget how to park? ;D

Judging soley on the OP's initial post, should we assume he isn't married? Shoot, with me, I shoot professionally, can write off all purchases on taxes, and can get the money for the camera in about a months time if needed, and I STILL have to explain to my wife/CEO that I need a new camera, even though my 5d2 is only 4 months old haha. That being said, when I liquidate my 5d2, I could make up the difference easily in 1 month and plan on getting mine asap as soon as retailers start getting steady shipments and I wont be without a second body too long.

Well said, good sir! He must not be married ;) I too write everything off, and if I had purchased the markII (which I am glad I waited to do) my husband would probably be saying no way, which would be totally reasonable. We all have to compromise for the sake of our significant others. That being said, yeah for mastercard! ;D

*grin* last night my wife stated that she wants two, because if it has decent AF she won't need to buy a 1DX. As bastard CFO from hell, I had to point out that maybe she should start with one... once the street price has started to drop below RRP. As long as I provide the interface between her and her accountant, she needs to listen. *grin*

Ya and a yellow Ferrari? Why would you do that to such a beautiful machine? So cheesy. Don’t worry it’s a Ferrari, you will get attention. Stick with black, red or white.

Ferrari is red, people who have bought other colours have missed the point. That said, I wouldn't say no to a free yelllow one; I'd just have to shell out for a respray!

P.S. I had to zoom in to 100% to see how much money the OP actually had; why do US bank notes all look the same? Surely a country as rich as the USA can afford colour printing? The US dollar looks like a third world currency! :)

Funny Traveller, if it's OUR money that looks so bad, why is it that it's spread all over the world digging everyone else out of their holes?

Hey Jal, you might get a battery or two, maybe a flash card that would fit in the camera after selling that one! :) What do the tires look like?

Standing ready for pre-order.

Why didn't you just put $3500 in the picture instead of what looks like about 8-10k? I'll tell you this, no truly wealthy person would do something like this, it's tasteless and has a "hey please give me some attention" vibe to it.

If your computer ever gets seized the cops will find this post, and that probably won't help your case. And based on the wear that money doesn't look like it came from a bank in one withdrawal.

So what are you selling exactly? There aren't many other reasons that a normal person would have that laying around the house..

Hahaha... why can't people just laugh and have fun with the OP? Some people have lots of money, some have little, some are in between. Who cares?! Just laugh and roll with it... I'm sure that's what the OP meant to start. If not, that's funny too!!

I agree. The money may not even be real but who cares, it's worth a laugh while we wait for the big day. :)

I know how I'm paying for mine... I'll be selling little silver | stickers. You can buy one and put it next to the || on your 5DII and it will make everyone think you've actually got a 5DIII.

Honestly I agree. I wanted Black, but it's not like they have a ton of these floating around and I have other red cars so what the heck. I think white would actually be pretty cool for the style.
