Have you ever seen Bill Gates before he became a billionaire? If you think he's a geek now, he wouldn't even have made it on the set of 'Revenge of the Nerds' back in those days. He was such a dweeb even other dweebs musta told him, "dude, I know I don't have any friends, but I really can't be seen with you... it would ruin my reputation".
Never struck me as a car thief. Hell to this day he drives something like a 1985 Volvo or something like that. Said it gets him around just fine, so why buy anything else?
"Ummm... how about because I drive a nicer car than you do, and you'll make more money than I will in my whole life, TODAY"!!!
