Patek, you look like a damn fool in that snakeskin jacket.
One of our reviewers recently reviewed the Malloch's Seaweed Newman Roll Neck Jumper. Check out his thoughts on this modern contemporary version of the British submariner jumper here.

My golf cart was made to my exacting specifications by an Italian supercar manufacturer
Big deal. My son's Power Wheel looks sort of like a Hummer.
I was going to say something equally rude to you. Then I decided that I would not piss on you, even if you were on fire. Is there anything else that I can help you with sir?
What I don't understand from the OP's post (and would appreciate his enlightenment here) is that, if the CEO and OP are such good friends (and for more than a decade), why would there even the be concern, and amazement (as gleaned from the title), at not being sacked for offering the boss friend sartorial advice?

I his defense, though, a BMW 1-series isn't really a luxury car.
No it is not a luxury car. It is quick. A 135 with the DCT trans does 0-60 in 4.4 seconds. That is actually a really good 0-60 time. It gets no respect from anyone though, becuase it's a 1 series. People will say things like "oh my brother has a BMW but he has a 5 series". I don't care though becuase I like cars and like the engine and transmission the car comes with. It is a pretty good performance value. The Mustang 5.0 is a better performance value but I am not a Mustang guy.
The handling is a little sloppy though compared to a porsche. That is why I had a Cayman. When I really felt like driving and shifting gears I would drive it. I have owned several porsches and attended Porsche owner events for years. I used to be very into cars. I never got to Ferarri status. I don't think I aspire to anymore.
Everything has changed now because I have severe achilles tendonitis. I have been doing therapy for months. I have improved a lot, but am not completely recoved yet. I do not think I will want to drive a stick shift again for a long time. As a result I do not even enjoy driving the way I used to. The BMW 1 series has 300 hp and 300 ft lb of torque. That torque is availabe from 1200 RPM. So just above idle the car is making huge power. It is a hair trigger car. This is good for my ankle becuase I dont have to give the car so much gas to get going. The brakes are giant 6 piston Brembos. The car requires very little input to stop. This is good for my ankle stoo. What I am saying is that I cannot imagibe a better car for someone with sore ankles. It makes it easier for me to drive longer distances without gatting fatigued.

okay then, I am just going to shut up and let this thread die now.
I did not intend to attack anyone here. I now realize that it was foolish to lash out at every single person that said something negative to me. It would have gotten much further by just annoying the negative posts.
I have owned an M5. It was cool. I hated the clunky SMG transmission.
I have owned a 911. It is my favorite car that I have owned. I liked the Cayman too.
