I do feel that my ad was rushed and can be improved on. As with the beer and video games goes, it is likely people quite similar to the guy asking for this money giving it to him. People see how stupid the ad is, and are sending him money, I also am starting to strongly regret the site that I have used for this. I feel that it is very hard to not come off as spoiled when owning a Porsche, i tried to execute the ad in a way that showed how much I respect and like the Volvo and see it as a bargain for something unique and stylish. I think I to an extent have out done myself with owning a Porsche, it is pure joy to own one and maybe cabin fever is getting to me. When I drove past that Volvo on the lot i thought to myself that if I was not blessed enough to be able to afford the Porsche i would likely be in something like that and i would love it just as much. Maybe it is the inevitability that we will always want what we do not have, however, it is a strange flip-side that i see something extravagant in this simple affordable car. It is more so my creative side that wants this than my business side. My business side was more at home when preparing documentation to fight insurance on, liability, proving the car as totaled, and then the value of replacing it. Through this i went from insurance sending me a 5k check and 20% liability to now 0% and a 13k check. I will wait until this weekend when I get my new Boxster, and rethink from their, at that point I will very likely withdraw the current ad, and create a new one on another site. For the time being I have already spread the current ad and will see how it does until Friday.
