Wow! The response has been incredible! I've gotten so many offers I really never thought I'd have to make tough decision!

I decided trading down to a different car would be too imbalanced of a trade - I am in no rush to get to the bottom, so why should I settle? So I decided to go with Earl Thompson's offer to me! Thanks Earl!

Earl Thompson and I have decided to trade the Ferrari for a beautiful piece of land in upstate NY. I agreed to it on the basis that it is not a far drive for me, and I'm told there is a beautiful pond that is clean enough to swim in.

I want to enjoy this piece of property for the weekend, and my kids are already excited about going camping! Eileen on the other hand is being a party pooper, but I think she's sad to see the Ferrari go. I don't care though - this is all so exciting for me!!!

I'll tell you all how the camping was after this weekend, but PLEASE!!! Keep making offers! My email address is jamiestark98@yahoo.com! email me! Keep reading!

Hi there! My name is James Stark (everyone calls me Jamie) and I've had enough! My family is boring and my job sucks! Everyday its the same old thing: wake up at 5, eat my shitty breakfast alone (now Eileen insists that I drink Soy Milk! As if that Kashi crap wasn't tasteless enough!), then I get to GHP at 6:30 (oh that is where I work, Grizzly, Howard & Parsons Investments on Pearl St between Wall St & Pine) and answer phone calls for dumb fucks and get home at 9:30 pm. Is money the most important thing in the world? I used to think so: I used to want it all. Sure I have a great house in Scarsdale, two beautiful daughters, an Escalade and a Ferrari (not to mention Eileen's Jag), but does it make me any happier? NO! Yesterday if you asked me if there was any hope, I would have said no. But that was Yesterday

Who would have thought I would find inspiration from a fellow blogger?



My Blogspot neighbor, Kyle MacDonald, a very creative young buck decided he would barter that red paper clip as long as he needed to get a house (http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/). Well after about a year he did it! He got a house! He fulfilled his dream, and I intend to fulfill mine.
Kyle and I surely had different upbringings. He has had to use his mind to gain shelter, whereas I've only used mine to sustain a level of privelege. I grew up in Great Neck, went to Cornell undergrad and immediately went to Goizueta at Emory for B school. I've only seen life through my tinted windows. Somedays I feel empty and just completely inexperienced, and the only way to experience life is to have an adventure. Today MY ADVENTURE BEGINS!!!

I will begin bartering my 1990 Ferrari Testarossa (one red ferrari, get it?) in the hopes to barter down ever so slightly to get to the bottom. I want to eat trash! Smoke crack! Sell a hooker! But adventure is the name of the game, so I will do and take anything! I just want to experience life!

So please! Follow my blog and make me offers! I want to meet all of you! You are now my family! MAKE ME AN OFFER!!!
