If you like fast cars and the American Dream this story is for you. Located on yahoo.com this 48 foot boat is going to be the envy of all American car lovers all over the world. Inspiration for this boat came from the beloved American muscle car the Chevy Corvette, and boy does it look nice. This boat is made from a substance that is just as tough as metal but lighter as the story read. This boat is nice to look at and looks like it would be nice to drive. Seating up to six inside this boat has all the amenities including Apple TV, wifi hot spots, a rocking sound system and of course, the look and feel of driving a corvette on the water.
I just have to ask, is it worth it? For those who have to money to spend I guess you can go ahead. To me it seams like a waste of money to me. For a 48 foot boat you have to pay 1.7 million dollars. Yes I know that you get the bragging rights of saying that you own a corvette style boat but that is about it. I think you could, oh say, buy a house, pay for your kids college, or invest in a small business. I do however have to put it to the creators of this boat. They used what most men love, fast cars, sleek design, and the fact that its a boat. This is truly the story of an American dream in the fact that they had a dream and made it become a reality. So if you have enough money, go ahead and spend it on meaningless stuff that you may not use on a regular basis. But if you just want to show off, go invest in a new company that you believe in. Do your part to reverse the recession.
I feel this way as a lot of people have had their American dream shut down due to financial problems. If someone has the money to buy a 1.7 million dollar speed boat, I think they should buy that after making someone else's dream come true. People all over the nation have ideas on a business that could be the next revolutionary product such as Apple, Bluetooth, Blu-ray and such but they banks may not loan them money to start a business due to the recession. If a millionaire would show that they care about what is happening to this country we would be in a better place. It would not be as if they were just throwing the money away, they would be promoting the American Dream.
As always these are just my opinions and this is for my English course.
Yep. People are either filthy rich, or dirt poor. I feel like the there is no more middle class. Sounds like a sweet boat, though.
ReplyDeleteI used to write insurance policies on specialty products, like boats, motor homes, motorcycles, etc. It always blew my mind how many people had so many unused high dollar items. I wrote a policy on a 17 million dollar motor home, and when I asked them how many miles they drove it per year, their answer was 0, they said it just sits in the special garage we had built for it. What's the point of even having it if they aren't even getting any enjoyment from it? I agree with you, there are better things to spend money on.
