I only speak the truth and no insult is the objective. A Fairmont hotel room is expensive. Check their website or call their toll free number and book a room if you don't believe it. The fact is most IS customers would not spend that kind of money on a hotel room. After spending the best part of two years on this site I think I have a pretty good lead on the desires of most IS owners. And that is, they are young as a group overall, and they are looking for most bang for the buck. Most, not all, would never spend $300 to $400 a night at a hotel. I wouldn't either at 18-25 years old as I couldn't appreciate what I was paying for. The IS audience is obsessed in the 'bottom line', inordinately so, imo. They look for the best deal, at the LOWEST pridce. It has nothing to do with forum insults, so please don't toss that in my direction.

There are those that find the Fairmont experience a fair value under the right circumstances, myself included. Would I do it all the time? Nope, I couldn't afford it. But in my opinion most IS owners aren't at that level. Most posters here are very focussed on what their experience costs. Fair enough, it is only with more life experience that one can equate value with cost. I'm not trying to incite flames, but there is a difference from the typical LS owner and the IS owner in age, disposable income, and desires. You are kidding yourself to think that at 20-25 years of age you have the same life desires and purchasing power of a 55-60 Lexus customer. Fact is fact, there is no way at the age of 25 you have the life experience of a 55, 60 or 65 yo. Accept it. If you don't believe that you have no idea of the Lexus target market, and how Lexus markets their automobiles. Again, no insult is intended, but the Lexus experience is far, far more than the IS target audience. Open your eyes.

Some of the responses in this thread really demonstrate how wrapped up people are in money as it relates to self worth. If I ever get to the point where I have to convince faceless strangers on the internet that I am important because of where I buy my clothes or stay on vacation, I'm going to seriously reevaluate my priorities.

You are insinuating too much which is only going to instigate even more argument... I was just proving the falsehood of his claim of a generalization... which I would have never stated if it weren't for his remark in the first place...

so i'm not trying to incite a riot either, to me one of the benefits besides the internet friendships and the exchange of knowledge is the fun and entertainment one might find in online [car] forums.

that being said, i find it difficult to believe someone would find value in a stay at the fairmont hotel if they say....bring their own oil to an oil change (sorry i couldn't help it; i really do know why some do it).

Wow,

I had no idea a simple thread I devised would create such a issue amongst some members (LOL). Some people like to incite riots because they have nothing better to do I guess. I think in a more altruistic humanitarianistic approach that promotes a positive end result. We'll at least we get a free upgrade at the Fairmont Hotels!!!!
