Oh when I test drove the LS430 I was in shock the difference.. It barely revs, that TL had to be spun out. I also noticed the RWD dynamics.

It wasn't long until I was smitten. I mean I always wanted an LS430 but you know what I mean.

Yes lol.

I just know if I had a law degree I wouldn't place it in jeopardy by in the easiest way possible giving an example of a lawyer who breaches confidentiality.

It is well known to never doxx people, that's a line MOST people would never cross. I mean IDGAS, I told them to come to my house for lemonade and just that they make sure they act just as tough to my face.

i agree it never makes sense to go out of the way or wait long lines for cheaper gas. time = money, period.

I do business with a lot of attorneys. Attorney absolutely does not equal smart. In no way, shape or form.

It's just, one of my BFFs is an attorney. If I told him all this he'd be floored.. He worked so f'n hard to where he is (he just made partner).. He would cut his own arm off before doing what that idiot did.

Dude was probably already disbarred lol.

One thing my career of helping people through a very stressful personal transaction has taught me...is that education and schooling absolutely do not correlate to people being smart or as dumb as a sack of rocks. I have dealt with so many Ivy league business tycoons and high powered attorneys who couldn't think their way out of their own rectum and so many plumbers and landscapers who are incredibly smart and sharp and insightful its not even funny.

People's education has more to do with who their parents are than any ability they may have themselves. You do of course find incredibly smart and shrewd attorneys like your friend AJT, but its not a given!

Oh yeah he's shrewd, but not arrogant or a dick in any way. He's told me any legal advice he gives period, if not being billed for it in official capacity, it opens him up to liability.

He also gets people trying to get him to do them favors and is like "I went to law school not favor school." LOL. You'd like this guy, he's great.

I've needed him before, we were roommates in college so I do have that privilege, one time he did advise me but kept saying "Theoretically? Oh you mean theoretically right?"

Can't say I blame him.

And about smart people being dumb and vice versa.. I also think a lot of that is book smarts vs. street smarts. I probably couldn't pass Freshman 101 Math at Harvard, but I also know how to talk to people and nothing gets by me. Either bullishit I just hear or if it's being directed directly towards me. I hate school and studying and everything about it, I just found out so did both of my parents lol. But I have street smarts for sure.
