Unhappy Still want a 996 GT-2?

Just spotted the topic and thought you might like this one:

A mate that had an impressive car history (cossie/Focus RS/330/M3/CSL etc...)thought to himself: "how big a bang could he get for his buck...."

He spent at the time around

Think about it.... they never had alot of money.... so when they did they blew it ALL on a car called the "widow maker" and gave it to a 22 year old.

Easy come easy go.

Not particularly smart people and as an affect the guy (still in his 20's) lives off benifits, spends all day trying to get money for drugs and basically has a shit quality of life.

Who's to blame?

Think about it? You didn't even post the details you've just mentioned! You said Daddy was rich, and now you're saying he blew everything he had on a Porsche for his son?

And you need to look up the definition of karma. You, quite clearly, think it means something else.

Sorry my fault!

got confused wi something else

The philosophical explanation of karma can differ slightly between traditions, but the general concept is basically the same. Through the law of karma, the effects of all deeds actively create past, present, and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one's own life, and the pain and joy it brings to him/her and others. The results or 'fruits' of actions are called karma-phala. In religions that incorporate reincarnation, karma extends through one's present life and all past and future lives as well.
