He should stay within carpets and shoes, not designing cars

I dont like the E65, but the E60 is a good looking car in person. Other than that, shoes??? How odd. "What do you do for a living sir?" - "I design high class BMW's, oversee a whole design firm, and on the weekends I make penny loafers...."
