having bought a $300,000+ vehicle, do you really think they care about gas prices?

Nope, but i saw an arrow pointing to a 666 postcount.
Somehow i don't think you got that ;) (or maybe he was pointing to something else)

lol! i completely missed that too. i was pointing to me indicating i'm in alhambra (city 1 street south of san marino). i'm was laying here wondering if you meant the alhambra moors (my old highschool's team name) were t3h devil :confused: :laugh:


Wow, we really all misunderstood each other's posts! :Q

I'm outta here before i confuse anyone else :laugh:

Do you have the date? I'd like to get in on that ;)

Mileage is certainly important when considering $300k+ super-luxury cars :)

I mean, he's gonna have to spend an extra $8 a week on gas by driving this car...

No. Dude, look at that engine.

That's actually better then I was expecting given the engine and all.
It's his money and all, --- but what a fvcking waste. $328K for a car?!?

Hope they don't go grocery getting in that car. Would hate to see it get dinged up or keyed. $300K+ for a ride, now that's living large.

If I buy a $300K+ vehicle (not that I will ever ever or even if I could would buy one) nobody except myself would drive it. No chauffer.

What's annual insurance on this thing?

Personally, I woulda bought an M5, gutted the interior, done it up custom and possibly a custom paintjob (depends on if I could find anything that didn't look garish on an M5)

It's his/her money.

Stop complaining.

People pay 2x more for Intel chips.
People spend $3,000 on computers and only use it to surf msn.com

Lots of women spend $1,000+ on a purse just to carry their sunglasses in

People pay Sonz70 $800 a night just to kiss him.
^
This proves people love to waste money.

to me its a car you'd rent for a wedding. otherwise its sorta disgusting if you know what i mean.

From the article
But, he says, in some developed economies such as Germany the cars are politically incorrect.

what is that supposed to mean?

It means that it's a symbol of excess and that such things are frowned upon everywhere that isn't populated by
A) Americans
or
B) Oil Sheiks

Geez, all I wanted to do was supply pics of a beautiful car to ATOT, not make a debate on whether or not the guy should have bought it.
