I know I'm new here, but there doesn't seem to be much activity going on and it's a little disappointing. What I'd like to know is who is really active on this website. (Also, a lot of people seem to make a profile and then immediately abandon it. Could the lack of activity be the reason?)
Any responses to this will help asure me that things actually do happen here.

Tack!

There's only a small number of us that regularly post/play in the RP's/are in site chat.  This, coupled with real life callings and us being scattered across several time zones tends to cause a large lag between when the regulars are on.  Stick around.  Once you've met some of the inner circle, things get more interesting.

As to why people make a profile than abandon it, your guess is as good as mine.

Euge's right on real life getting in the way.  I know Carmen's got a baby on the way... so she's seriously busy.  Both Chief and Admin have a new project starting up, and over the past week, I had to go test drive a Ferrari.

You lead a rough life.

 

I had an inkling to request photographic proof of this Ferrari.

 

Can't really say no to that... so forgive this off-topic bit.

The Ferrari California, burgundy leather interior, black finish, hard top convertible... V8, direct injection, 7-speed, 8 km/liter fuel 'efficiency'. The back drop is the newly finished InterContinental Hua Hin Resort, and that red license plate says she's been in Bangkok less than a month.  

It's disappointing that the famous gear boxes are no longer in production, so all you get are paddle shifts behind the wheels and no gear stick.  When driving a Ferrari going from 0 to 100 km/h (60 mph) in 3.9 seconds, you want that adrenaline-inducing off-wheel shifting only these supercars can deliver.  Still... when you're pressing the accelerator and you see the rpm rise, the gears increasing, and the speed going from 'fast' to 'insane'... that adrenaline kicks in real nicely.

 

They're selling this exact car, priced at a little under US $830,000 (tax is crazy in Thailand).  When I was at the hotel, an Indian gentleman walked in, pointed to it, and said "I'm buying this car."  But when I asked the marketing manager, he told me no one's put a down payment yet.  Interested?

 

 

 

You can go off-topic all you want, Chase, with this kind of content!

Showing off again, aren't you Chailen? ;)

I would be interested in only the engine, the gearbox and 7-speed automatic transmission is less than ideal for my taste. Although, my thanks for the image, I had no idea the Ferrari California looks so much like a Maserati from this angle.

 

 I suppose we may both agree on this being his vaguest display of machismo?

How does she sound, mate? How does she sound?? I'd trade places with you if it were easy. LOL, and sorry to hear bout the gear, ai, they don't make em like the old days.

830,000 is almost a phone number..... Shhhhheeeeesh!  I wouldn't even dare sit in that thing, I'd just touch it.  Haha.

Why is the license plate folded at the bottom? Is it supposed to be like that?

(It costs about $1.5 million where I'm from. That, Nevon, is a phone number indeed.)

That car is sweet, but the price ismore than my parent's house!
