SL Boy:
2003 SL 55 AMG- 4,000
2002 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish- Ive had this for a year- about 5,200 miles.
2003 Ferrari 360 spider- Had this for 2 - about 700 miles.
2003 CL 55 AMG- 6 months- 12,500 miles.
2003 Bentley Arnage RL- Brand new, about 300 miles.
2003 E55 AMG- Had this for 3 weeks- 1,400 miles

The CL is my daily driver, because it's the only car in Los Angeles, the rest are in New York...so I don't drive them as much. I miss home though!

This PrinceC guy is spending most of his time in LA but the other cars he has in New York are still putting milage on the odometer. Sounds weird to me unless he has family to drive them all!!!!
What do you guys think??????

I think that what Prince does with his cars is his business, and not ours to speculate on who drives them. But he does have a great collection.
