If you’ve gotta be old, rich, and obnoxious, buying ridiculous cars is a way more innocent hobby than funding The Federalist or paying Toni Laren’s rent. So I can’t hate him too* much.

Glad I’m not the only one who thought “why’d they invite Ja to be on this conference call?” after everything went to shit. You can tell the real Fyre Media employees were doing all they could not to ask the same. 

I’m 5'10" and have been forced to ride in the back of a 997 a million times. Short trips are fine if the person in front scoots up. I’ve also drawn the short straw on 70 mile trips, that wasn’t as fun. Kids will love being in the back of a 911. Rennlist is full of kids-in-the-back picture threads.

the flimsy but lovable T-Rex arm cupholders are gone

Right. Tons of comments thumbing their noses at the “cheapest Benz” but... so what? I’ve never driven it, so it could suck on the merits, but if I’m spending $33k on a sedan I’d at least go look at this. The Accord and Camry have gotten hideous (personal tastes), and in 2019 nearly every car will be reliable as hell, c…

Andrew Whitworth is at least 78 years old. 

This is one of the few $90,000 cars that looks like it costs way more. These things have presence. If I were an old rich person looking for a highway cruiser, I’d buy one - it’s quite a bargain compared to an S-Class coupe.

My dad once bought a Lincoln LS because he didn’t like what they (lets just pretend he said Japanese) “did to our boys in WWII.” Maybe Lincoln finally realized his generation wouldn’t be around much longer so they finally started trying, as evidenced by the new pretty SUV thing.

A Toyota track event probably goes exactly the opposite of a Geely track event. 

I’m willing to drive with my knees in my chest, to an extent. My “realistic” plan is to wait until they’re out of boosters & get an early 991 coupe. My roommate in college had a 997. I’m 5'10" and was crammed into the backseat more times than I can count. More than once from Baton Rouge to New Orleans (~70 miles). The…

At least two G-Wagens, a chrome S-Class, and a Sprinter limo thing? Based on my stereotypes of rich Eastern Europeans, I don’t think these are the type of people who like their pictures on the web. This videographer better watch his ass.

It’s also exponentially more likely to rip his trousers. I’m only a 9 1/2 and this would never work - even with the baggy dress pants of the mid 2000's. 

The only thing standing between him and us is a thin layer of gabardine. 

They need to give this column to Mrs. Drew next week. I would love to hear what she has to say, in general.

I’ve got twin two year olds. Dropping them in the back of a convertible would be so easy and fun. If I ever win the lottery I’ll buy a Ferrari Portofino. But this would be sweet if I also needed something sensible. 

That’s real dumb. I understand the utilization equation on a revolving account like a credit card, wherein you can pay down and/or immediately spend up the balance... but a car loan isn’t that. 

I’ve wondered the same thing about people who buy $100k+ watches.

I daydream often of becoming extremely, stupid-rich and yet I still cannot comprehend the appeal of million-dollar track toys. Can it race in a series? No. Can you valet it in Beverly Hills? Also no. Are spare body panels easily available? Hell no. All I can think about when viewing the stunning Aston Martin Vulcan,…

The way you beat an idiot like Pietrangelo is to let him in. This is exactly what he wants. Give him the lease. No way he can afford it or actually wants it. Badabing badaboom, no cause of action. 

Check out the value of 360 Challenge Stradales to find part of your answer. I’ll do the work for you: they’re still expensive as hell. Same for the 430 Scuderia and 458 Speciale. The “special” V8's fit into an echelon below the million-dollar hypercars but above the front-engine V12 flagships. It would be very…
