Phantom

[ponyo]

My cousin wanted a daily driver and a luxury car to transport his kids to school. So he bought pearl white http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeWM6GJCwvo

Should arrive in Atlanta around Wednesday and heading straight to tire shop to get 24 inch wheels. Can't wait to test out the BMW V12. Never driven a car with V12.

V12s are naturally balanced in primary and secondary vibrations which is why they have that prestige value. It's so smooth running, I doubt you'd be able to figure out it's running in a well isolated car. Don't be surprised to not hear any engine sound or feel any even at highway speeds or vibrations at idle.

Congrats, everyone should drive a V12 at least once in their life. I've done it in a Twin turbo Mercedes and it's truly an experience.

The 24" rims do confuse me a bit though. I presume someone buys a Rolls over a Aston or Maserati or Ferrari 612 for the silent calmness and compliant ride, 24" Rims and tires would take away from both those values.

wow very nice, I hope he does not get ugly rims lol

WTF happened to kids taking the buss to school? This is why traffic is shitty in Atlanta when school starts.

You can get used luxury cars cheap, but you can't keep them on the road cheaply.

Blame all the parents that sends their kids to private schools. My daughter attends public and rides the school bus. My cousin sends all three kids to private with no school bus. He has a driver for one and takes the other two himself. What a hassle and waste of money.

And Jealous Much?

Ever tried to get thru Atlanta on the first day of school or any day after that?? It's a serious PITA without school sometimes.
The "luxury car to transport his kids to school" bit made me sneer a little I must admit.
Why 24"s though???
"HEY! LOOK AT ME!"

I are want expensive car too.

 

[angry hampster]

WTF does your cousin do?

Nice choice on the car, but he's a tacky idiot for wanting 24" wheels.

 

[BassBomb]

i saw one of those cars, they are fucking massive

i mean i thought lexus ls or mercedes s were big... but this thing is like a tank

24"? Out of curiosity, what race is he?

And people who buy Rolls Royce's aren't already set for "Hey look at me!"? Please. Its a giant land going yacht of a status symbol. It's got a 9 foot tall grill and a giant hood ornament for chrissakes. Go ahead and put 24"'s on it. Hell, make it a Donk.

And while we're being realistic, a luxury car to take the kids to school in? Give me break. He didn't buy it for the kids. He bought it for himself. Hope it makes his pee pee feel bigger.

Eh? If I were rich, I'd have an LF-A to take the kid to school.
You'd better believe I'd want to have everyone look at me.

 

[PhoKingGuy]

IMHO, kids driven to school in Rolls/Bentleys are worthless morons who drag down society

<<------ SAT teacher for rich kids, many of whom are driven to class in these.

 

[boomhower]

He's goes money, congrats. Enjoy the Phantom. Don't let him ruin a damn fine car by putting fucking ghetto 24's on it.

 

[Kirby]

With that kind of money I'd send the kids to boarding school in Europe.

With that kind of money I'd let the kids walk to public school.

Of course he bought it for himself. It's going to be his daily driver. He drives his kids to school in the morning before work so he'll use it for that too.

He likes big rims. He puts big aftermarket rims on all his cars. It's the first thing he does when he buys a car. Even his Ferrari has 20 inch rims.

 

[BUTCH1]

Car is complete win in every category except one, looks, god it's an ugly car..

Ummm. Yeah. That's the angle I was going for. I was mentioning the 24's only to be a smartass...the rest was obvious.

 

[Doggiedog]

I got driven in one once. The suicide doors were weird.

 

[DarkThinker]

A Ferrari and a Rolls Royce?

May I inquire of his profession?

I just want to know what the hell to tell my future kids when the time comes for me to give them the classic father to son talk about where I went wrong with my life.

Thanks

Meh people will think that he's a limo driver. You see Phantoms all over NYC, all of them being limo service.

I would've gone for a flying spur, much less ostentatious and "LOOK AT MEEE" car and better dynamics. Guy in my building had 2 (well the other was arnage)

 

[vshah]

i'd get a maser myself. would only get a rolls if i wasn't going to drive it myself

 

[Bignate603]

Out of all the cars that he could buy I think the rolls will pull off 24" wheels better than any of the others. The car is HUGE, it comes stock with 21" wheels and they look normal on it. On a car that big 24" wheels will probably look more normal than the 20" wheels people put on more typical cars.
