Those wheels

Whatever, stick with the slow *** 760, my dad has one and my 55 absolutely embarrasses it! If he thinks the S65 is uncomfortable, he should buy a Silver Seraph and enjoy 0-60 in 7 seconds and sub-Caddy handling, it sure is comfortable though!

Nice video..but they have given the car to a wrong guy..a back seat passenger is not the one to test a sport-tuned luxury sedan..

I was going to flip a B**CH the other day in an intersection, but after seeing the video I didn't do it, cause I didn't want to break my $200,000 car...

This is exactly what I was thinking. He should have been comparing the S600 to his 760.

I think he may have blew the power steering pump...he did a full locked donut the entire time. She told him to turn the wheel all the way over till he couldn't go any further and he did. Full lock donut != good. After about 10 seconds of a full lock, you're just destroying the power steering. Should have let up on the steering just a little bit and it probably would have been fine.

The guy clearly has no idea about cars except for the few he thinks of buying. They should have gotten a REAL millionaire (125mil is not an accomplishment that deserves him to test drive THAT car IMHO) who can ACTUALLY drive. What an idiot...

The guy is an idiot, understood, and that ***** on 5th gear is soooo anoying, actually that show sucks *** (besides Tiff) if you compare it to Top Gear, but 125mil is not a real millionaire? wow I'm no hippie, I love my two mercedes, but I think some people have twisted ideas of what they need. Btw, anyone know where I can find some gold leaf in rolls so I can use it to wipe my ***, it's a new mega rich-baller trend I am starting.

I live in Fantasyland. I grew up in a small-town in Kentucky with normal beginnings and I now witness how much money (and no taste) a town like Naples, Florida has to offer. My statement seems skewed to many, but to the few who know it doesn't sound too crazy.

I am young and still in school, and not naive to many things, and I didn't imply that you thought this was true, I will live a very comfortable life... but damn, some people are just on another world.

Except I suspect they are talking about their local currency (British Pound Sterling), which means he`s worth a bit over 240 million USD. I would safely regard that as a "qualified" millionaire. Or do you need to be a billionaire nowadays to justly proclaim yourself a "REAL" millionaire?
