In over 13 years of fulltiming, I might have heard the ultimate today.In what is an unusual move for us given that we rarely do RV parks, we are in a small (31 site) park. Couple pull into the only site big enough for their 45'ish Prevost and their matching custom appointed 20'ish trailer. Their next door neighbor in a modest 28'ish TT just setting up remarked, "nice looking rig you have there".Guy responds, (and this is verbatim), "Yeah well, if you've got the money, why not?" That was the extent of the "conversation".

Any bets? I'll give this one 5 pages.

I'm bowing out before it even gets off the ground.

This based on an encounter I had a couple of years back with a Prevost at a turnout on a lonely stretch of HWY 101...if it's the same guy, I can believe he's still mad as H-E-Double-Pitchforks!

One of these days, somebody's going to shut his pie hole for him. Hope somebody gets pictures of him crying like the little baby he is.

i would have gave him my paymant book and said if you have the money why not pay mine off for me then

Some people here are way, way too thin skinned.
They take offence if somebody looks at them sideways.
Life is too short, get over it.
Sheesh!!

And the guy is maybe 5 foot and combs what is left of hair in to a rats nest, rides with an air-head, and back home there is nothing worth talking about.

I call then petty little men.

Maybe he didn't own the Prevost? Could he have been transporting it for the owner?

And maybe, he's just a __________! (fill in the blank) :W

It takes all kinds. That would not have bothered me one bit.

He just made a statement of fact. Nothing to get excited about unless someone had an inferiority complex.

Don't we all spend it if we got it?

Next rant!

I wonder what the real conversation went like. That might be a perfectly legit response to something like " You could feed a 10,000 starving children for what that rig cost, but if you are going to waste more money than most people make in a lifetime, don't have a problem polluting the environment and consuming more than your share of our precious resources it is a "nice looking rig you have there"". Things are seldom as simple and clear cut as they seem.
