Generally, am not a good one for plan-making... I am more of a reactionary than a pro-active type.... I don't really make long range plans, like living this whole life with a plan to be so-good and so-thoughtful as to end up in heaven for eternity... how about you... what is your plan to ensure or achieve eternal happiness? is that even a reality? Some believe there is nothing more important... and there are COUNTLESS methods to achieve this - takes planning.

So, you would love to have a 3 spoke VW steering wheel. I don't have to love to wish I had one... I already have it and if I sold it then, i'd be back to wishing for one, like you do... I don't want to be there, even at the cost of offsetting the cost for another material item... IF you REALLY wanted one, you'd have it and may NEVER let it go... at least, that's my program.

I think, much importantly that eternal-happiness is of paramount importance... thing is, I know-in-my-heart that we achieve that state, no matter what - we all RIP as fertilizer for mother earth... is such a relaxing thought - to be in a state of eternal relaxation, where human time, human problems, human tensions of Donald Trump or Kim Jong Un, human desires such as the wanting of anything, especially material, including the ultimate VW 3 spoke steering wheel or even the desire to be in the heavenly-illusion of Heaven with the human-concept of the heavenly illusionary-Father...

... at our expiration, we are forced to relinquish all human traits, in favor of the eternal "chill"... iz gunna' be the best and no planning necessary... just gunna happen.

Lotza peeps will disagree, in favor of their own account - believers, non believers, Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, Kurdish militiamen, ISIL caliphate fighters, Satanists, Jews, atheists, Republicans and Democrats, VW freaks, fundamentalists of every persuasion and the countless others with different ideas - they can all THINK what they want... so can I and so can you..,. all are valid , but one thing is for sure - no planning is needed. .. just gunna' happen.

... just not important to always have a plan to obtain a 3 spoke steering wheel or anything else.

What do you think ?

I generally use the restroom prior to leaving the house, never can be certain there will be a public toilet where you're going.

Depends, he’ll definitely need those in the event of a “gamble & lose”, you gotta plan ahead for that.

People make EVERYTHING more complicated than it really is. That's what I think.

3 spoke steering wheels are highly over-rated.

These people don’t know you man. I called you 30 years ago when I got here because you were the rep for Vintage Volkswagen Club of America. I never said thanks but you did help me and made me feel welcome. I’ve enjoyed talking to you at the shows through the years and I’m bringing extra chairs so stop on by at Eureka this August I’ll be in the same place I’ve been for years selling gently used VW parts.

Note to other responders this man has probably forgotten more about VWs that some will ever know, he’s a nice guy. So hey man send me a private message.

So, how much do you want for that steering wheel? If you sell it to me now, you can not plan, how to use the money. If I wait till your wormfood, and buy it from your estate, you don't get the use of the money. Since I am a stark raving capitalist, sooner or later I WILL get it. Oh, just for shits and grins, I am also a stark raving Christian, so in this life or in the next, I WIN.

What do I think?

I think you get what you pay for whether material goods or spirituality, whether in this life or the next. Zero effort = zero gain! You can only reach what you desire with thought and effort.

I personally have never achieved anything worth while by kicking back and drifting with the tide/wind/current and I do not expect that to change - ever!

You are taking the easy way out my friend and I think you will be disappointed.

You asked...
