I was just in Subway for lunch when an early 1990's Diablo rolled by eliciting a lot of heard turns and chatter. I couldn't help but overhear a son asking his dad at the table next to me how to get a Lamborghini. The dad's response epitomized what this community believes about the slowlane.
The convo went like this:
Dad: "Well son, a Lamborghini is a lot of money! If you want to get one you'll have to work really hard in school, get into a good college, and get a really good desk job at some place like Microsoft. By the time your my age you would be able to afford one. And that my son, is how successful people do it."
Son: "Why don't you have a Lamborghini dad? You work really hard and did well in school!"
Dad: "Hahaha, I don't care about material possessions like that. Even if I could afford one I wouldn't ever want a car like that. I just didn't get lucky I guess."
Son: "That's okay, money doesn't buy happiness anyway."
Dad: "That's right son!"
... 2 minutes go by ...
Dad: "MAN that was a sweet car! I would kill to just have a chance to drive one."
