Opinion: Tangible Goods

Today we are not scared by the fact that such businessman or which politician (or relative of the same) are caught "red-handed" with money of dubious origin. This simply no longer sells enough in this our bull hide in which in all layers of the pyramid of power we see corruption and mangants on a daily basis.

This just no longer sells enough in this our Piel de toro in which in all the strata of the pyramid of power we see corrupt and thugs daily.

Things change when those "presumed" are caught with a tangible good as clear as a classic vehicle or pre-classic in this case. And it is that for the plebs, the vulgar, to whom all those nefarious written or spoken news are directed that are thrown like darts by the media powers of both sides, there is nothing simpler to stage the alleged ratchet than to say "And it has X high-end Classics, including a valuable Ferrari 328." The truth is that the lashingRegardless of which side it is, he deserves jail until he returns what he has taken and, once he has returned it, he begins to serve the sentence imposed by the courts.

This affects us all, not just Ferrari fans.

The problem for us appears when we take our trincante car to the street, in how people look at us and, what is worse, what they come to bite us. For example, I am a Ferraris lover and, curiously, the 328 seems to me to be one of the definitive models; unfortunately I do not have any but I do have friends with that luck and ALL of them have paid it with the money earned as legal compensation for their daily work. Imagine suffering readers what Mas ... one has had to put up with lately.

This problem increases when the people begin to associate the words classic cars, corruption, dirty money, etc., and believe me this is something that happens all too often. Take the test and tell someone you know who doesn't know about your hobby that your boss's hobby, for example, is classic cars, you'll see that the topic soon comes up that this is for the "rich" or that he does it for launder money.

Do not think that because you have a Six hundred or a Balilla this does not go with you, do not be fooled, this goes with the concept of a classic car associated with a tangible good, and therefore with all the fans and professionals in the sector of our passion.

What do you think?
