Most AT'ers are competitive. It's fine for them to look at cars on the manufacturer's website and on review sites, but the second anyone actually OWNS one, or even knows someone that owns one, they are obligated to provide reasons why they and their Honda are better.

Wow... The only time I've seen one (besides auto shows) was on 27th street one night when I was really drunk. Needless to say I didnt know what the 3 M's were on teh front

I guess it seeds from the whole "my computer is better than yours" thing ...

Ah well ... it's not my car and I'm not jealous ...

I'd rather get a Maserati Quattroporte, Audi A8L W12, and the 2007 S55 AMG

But I know that's not going to happen

 

[Heifetz]

what a waste of money

 

[Whitecloak]

awesome

I didn't know Amol was my neighbor

 

[bootymac]

That is freakin insane!

What a ridiculous purchase.

Maybachs are designed to be passenger's cars, not driver's cars. It doesn't matter if it's a MB 57 or a 63; you want to be the passenger in either one and have someone else do the driving.

So unless this family has a chauffeur, it was crappy buying decision. If you're sitting in the driver seat, you're pretty much driving an overweight S55 AMG, except you paid three times the price.

They probably should have just bought a CLS55 AMG...that is a much better driver's car, it looks much better, it drives better, it's faster, and I'm sure if they wanted some LCDs in the back seats for the kids they could have had those installed for a grand.

Very nice.

If that's the kind of car they buy what does the house look like?

2800 sq ft mediterranean-style

Damn that's like a 50 million dollar house in California. They actually got their money from the Nigerian bank?

Jealous people
Now if Jay Leno was your neighbor I bet nobody here would be posting anything negative.

What does Jay Leno have to do with it?

In any case - at the very least, it seems a tremendous lack of imagination. I can think of alot better ways to blow $300K then on a car

What an absolute waste of fvcking money.

i'd take the money and go buy an M5, an S2000, an LS430 and save the money.

The S2000 will seem like a child's play toy at that point!

 

[isekii]

that looks like a glorified KIA

Jay Leno is a car nut.... With dozens of ridiculous vehicles in his collection.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned it, but it's probably a lease. Still expensive, say 2K a month, but nothing unaffordable to someone well off.

Umm, I don't think your standard 'leasing' is even possible on that car, considering they are all 100% custom build-to-order (he didn't pick it out on the lot). Financing yes, leasing NO!

Yep.

I didn't even have to think. That is two blowjobs a day for ten years from a decent looking hooker or the salary of the new slutty secretary.

Even if you HAD to blow $330k on cars, I would pick up an E39 M5, the new S6, probably an RS4, and a S55 AMG.

They might be just trying to explain how interest rates & residual value work.

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 :laugh:

GO MOORS c/o 2005!

 

[wiredspider]

wow...but so many other things once could spend $300k on...like 6 luxury cars...instead of just ONE super uber luxury car.

You can lease any car. 1 million dollar car or a 5k used car. You just ahvce to have the credit, money, and a bank willing to do it and there are plenty of those.

Is this car for business...like a limo for clients? I can't imagine kids riding in this.
