My dissent into the Japerrari monologue wasn’t intended to spook the stable. I should have saddled up another analogy. Everyone has different values and the criterion that forms our decisions is often based on experience. Personally I look for balance, such as appeal, function, ergonomics, efficiency, serviceability, reliability and price. There are many more considerations, but as a basis… these are root, primary objectives. This is why the LSX (or was that NSX?) stands out to me… it strikes a balance. And for balance, I’m willing to pay more.
That same standard crosses over to other aspects of my life. Maybe I can draw another correlation that doesn’t step on hoofs. In looking for a woman to share life’s memories, I seek someone who is physically, emotionally, spiritually and financially… balanced. I have no interest in the artificial, superficial, plastic fantastic, high performance monsters that are a waste of this planet’s oxygen.
By the same token, I gravitate toward women who have made a contribution, made a difference and made our lives better. That same protocol holds true with the products I purchase. I support innovation, because I know the proceeds reward the deserving and lead to further development. Anyone who has invented a product and brought it to market can relate to this.
Coming full circle... from what I've seen, the LSX is priced about right for it's segment. If it costs a little more, it's money well spent in my book. That said... I don't think any car is worth 100k or more. I don't think any watch is worth 10k or more. And I don't think any girl is worth giving up half of what I own!
