I understand what he is saying 100%. To me it translates to "I need a Leica
to keep my self respect intact" followed by "A fool and his money are soon
parted". IMHO, a pathetic reason to buy anything for that matter. A Hermes
tie has mojo, as does a Patek Calatrava, as do John Lobb shoes or a Ferrari
- so why don't we all rush out, mortgage ourselves to the hilt and buy
them? I guarantee it will make you feel good for a while! (-:
Cheers
