Okay, so I’ve been watching a lot more TV than normal (since I’m unemployed) and recently discovered that I get the Discovery HD channel.  It seems like everybody has a private jet and I’m jealous. 

I was watching a show on private jets the other day and Vanna White has one.  She keeps it at the Van Nuys airport. I didn’t really think that made sense, but what the hell. She’s been pacing with her cheeks clenched tighter than  a drum for 28 years now, so maybe she socked away some cash and maybe she has a crappy jet.  Ahem, on a side note, Vanna White was smok’n hot when she posed for Playboy.

I also watch Bobby G Adventure Capitalist and he’s got million dollar yachts and homes like I have old cell phones.  By the way, great show, the MOJO channel is pretty solid

Then, just now, I was just watching “Rides” and Chip Foose has a jet too!  Chip Foose designed a restomod  (The process of restoring a vintage car and updating it with modern parts) Camaro with Unique Performance.  The car is beautiful! Specs: 572 cubic inch engine, 620 horsepower, etc.

The guys found an old Camaro, striped it to the frame and then built it back up.  In the end, you get a cool car with modern performance…almost.  The car still weighs a shit load and I’m sure it isn’t exactly agile, but it looks sick.  Car & Driver did a comparison on a restomod Challenger that sorts out the differences.  Back to my point. Since when did everyone start getting jets?  Of course, maybe Chip Foose’s jet was chartered, which I understand can go for as little as $1500 an hour, which doesn’t sound too crazy if you’re Chip Foose and designing sunglasses and wheels and casinos…and jock straps…and bed pans. I’m just saying he’s kind of getting away from his core competency of designing cars.  

I love watching Foose just freehand sketches. You know the highlight of any show that features Foose has to have 3 minutes of him with some markers creating a masterpiece in minutes. Sometimes they trick you and start the show with drawings he’s already done and you feel cheated, then, BAM! they’ll surprise you by showing Foose with a new client.  I’m sure that when they agree to do a show they throw in a stipulation that they get to film him sketching “x” amount of cars. It’s amazing to watch someone’s hand convey the image in their mind onto paper. When I try to draw a cool fighter jet, blazing through the air, it looks like a retarded mosquito with bloody diarrhea.

To conclude. I would like to have a jet.
