Check it out-- with the ultimate tailgating setup. And an albino peacock in the background

1. Some People Have So Much Money, They Can't Spend It All

Others have Nothing, and don't know whether they'll live another day.

You could buy Two Hundred Eighty $100,000 Cars for the price of this one.

2. That or buy two hundred and eighty houses for the poor to live in.

3. Here is to hoping that this car is totaled in some kind of accident where noody is hurt or killed.

BTW I can almost 100% guarantee you that this car will not be driven very often or if at all
on on the open road.

[TreasonousBastard]

4. I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was garaged, and maybe towed once in a while...

to inaugurations, horse races, or exquisite weddings.

[Botany]

5. Yup it will be put on a car transport of some sort, tied down, then covered, and taken to ....

... some kind of rich person's party at which point it will be driven no more than a mile
where other rich douche bags will ohh and ayy about it.

7. A car like that...

Would be driven into an enclosed trailer and still likely have a cover on it.

6. You have to be a special kind of empty-souled asshole to buy - or make - a car like this.

I am sure it was meant to be aspirational, but all it makes me aspire to is to stay as far away from these people as possible.

8. I was in Monaco in 2019 and the Rolls royces, Bentleys and Ferrari's were overwhelming to see

The price of a car like that could house and feed a family for at least 5 years. And don’t get me started on the yachts.

[TreasonousBastard]

9. But they'll get housed and fed from the trickle down, don'tcha know.

10. People denounce this as a mere symbol of decadence, but it's not

...it is pure automotive art. It's very functional, but will never serve that purpose unless crossing the judges stand at the Pebble Beach Concours de'Elegance.

This will not be driven any more than one would hang a Degas or a Renoir on the porch exposed to the elements. As such, it will likely increase in value for the owner. No one knows how much, but it's a Blue Chip investment. I wish I had to foresight and means to buy a 2005 Ford GT at $150k, I could have doubled my money in 15 years.

No one would say Steve Winn buys the finest art because he has a tiny dick. Art is a safe place to park money as a hedge against inflation and bank failure. (FDIC only insures a couple hundred thousand)

This is not even the record paid for a automobile. That was broken a couple years ago with a Ferrari 250 GTO at over $50mil.
