I read the Ferrari one yesterday and it confirms a lot of what I know from my handful of high-net worth friends.
One of my boys flew his GT-R to Germany to drive the Nurburgring. He met a ton of people that also flew their GT-R's to Germany to do the same thing. The kind of contacts he made continue to make him money.
But getting a bunch of internet yokels to shed their "modest protestant" mindsets...not possible

Not at all. It's because he's intentionally misleading the way Internet Marketers (and PUAs) always mislead.
This Internet Marketer goes "Buy a Ferrari and expensive clothes and earn money through people who will now respect you." This is the same BS that PUA markets: "You don't have to go to the gym or eat right and work on self-improvement, you just need to say these lines and you're-in-like-flynn."
Both of these gimmicks are just the opposite of the truth, which is: People won't respect you unless you earn it. You earn it through hard work, smarts & dedication.
Instead you're going to have all these pathetic wanna bes all of a sudden drop thousands of dollars on clothes "because Patel said so." And it's not going to look good (because they haven't earned the confidence to dress nicely), they're not going to make any deal$ and they're going to be in the hole. This is essentially the same thing as RSDJulien-gate: "Choke bitches and pull their head to your cock and you're gonna get laid." All these wanna-bes are going to do that and get arrested. Lose your shirt, arrested...it's all the same.
In the case of your friend, if one of these poor schlubs following Patel were to buy a GTR and fly to Germany not only would he be in debt up to his head but everyone would see right through his poser-attitude because he did not earn it.
