Remember in the Eppy where her dad and Ross are going thru their parents garage.. And they realize all of Monica's Boxes get ruined??? And her dad feels bad and gives her his porsche??? I think he must have kept it stored for her until the recent story lines...

Yeah, because otherwise the episodes would be all about her struggles to park the damn thing.

Oh yes. And the streets in that neighborhood are so narrow that you wouldn't want to park it out. So, you'd have to know someone, or else rent out a garage space and then walk a pretty good distance.
Then Monica and someone would get into a big brouhaha over one parking spot, a la Seinfeld :-)
I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three. - Elayne Boosler

She'd never sell the Porsche. It was a gift from her dad. ~~~ Kathy

So. If she cant afford to run it and can't find a place to park it, its not much good to her, present or not. Its just a machine, and Mr Geller would understand, unless he's as selfish and inconsiderate as some of the characters in Friends have been of course.
Apparently, you've never received a gift of that nature from your parents. Sentimental value is priceless. ~~~ Kathy

No, sentiment won't pay bills, but somehow you'll manage if it's something that's been in your family for generations. I received a house from my late grandmother and even though we've had some pretty tough financial times over the last several years, I never ONCE thought of selling the house to acquire money. If the item of sentiment means enough to you, you'll find another way to make ends meet. I worked two jobs so I wouldn't have to sell or mortgage the house. ~~~ Kathy

~~~ Thats the difference between you and me, I have only small amount of sentiment for objects, and Id sell it if need be, for sentiment I prefer photographs and my memorys of that person. Id only keep an object if it was of no real value, like the comb and leather holder from my old next door neighbour [shes long dead], who saw me when I was 2 days old and was a sort of second mother to me.
Not only is that the difference between you and me, that's the difference in the generations. You're probably between 20-30 yrs. old. I'm 49. I have two sons ages 23 and 28. They think the same way you do. I gave my oldest son a car (1995 Audi 5000 that was mine) and he promptly sold it. Yes, I know it was his to do with as he pleased, but I cannot say it didn't hurt like hell. Maybe if he'd asked beforehand it may have made a little bit of difference, but I gave it with love and he sold it for money. So, with these GenX'rs, clearly money is THE most important thing in life. ~~~ Kathy

Im 46. :-)
I have no children.
No-one thinks like I do, or has goals like I have.
I got a Ford Fieasta 1.1 liter of my parents, and still have it till I get my next car.
Its just a machine. And your to emotional, but then its not your fault, after all you are a woman. ;)
Silly to get sentimetal over a machine, and he's old enough to make up his own mind as to what he wants, as is his brother.
He probably needed the money for something he really wanted.
Money is he lubricant of all societys.
46? Amazing.....you sound like you're 25. But, you have no children, which totally answers that question. Sentimental value isn't regarded by the size or nature of he item. It's what it means to you and how much. If you discovered that leather holder your neighbor gave you was worth hundreds or thousands of $$, would you sell it?
You're 46 with no children...probably just as well. Selfish people don't make good parents. Your "goals" are clearly money motivated, which is bad because once you attain them, you'll never keep them. Oh, BTW.....sentimentality isn't limited just to women...... Money is the "lubricant" of all societys??? Yes, we need it, but it isn't the be all, end all. You are obsessed with it because you have nothing else in your life that has more meaning. ~~~ Kathy

Yep.
I look like Im 37. But Id rather be 25 [prefably forever] and know what I know now.
True, and if a thing like a car, or a 'house' that your not using is just a drain on your finances, it should be sold. Travel light.
No. Its nearly the only thing I have from her, and besides I use it every day. If I sold it how would I comb my hair.
Who says Im selfish?
You bet, BIG 'money motivated'. MEGA BIG. I want to be filthy disgustingly obscenely repulsively rich. So rich that even the most ambitious American of today would feel physically sick by the size of their personal wealth. For if you aim to be rich you might as well aim for the very top of the mountain, where your personal wealth leaves you standing in glorious isolation. Bill Gates is there, and Id want to replace his spot.
I wouldn't put money on that if I were you. >;->
Women are driven by their emotions, which is why Im glad Im not a woman.
Cant pay the bills without it.
Rubbish. I am not obsessed with money. Just because Id rather travel light, and not be burded with material stuff, that takes up space, dosn't make me obsessed with money. Travel light.
