Awesome cars! Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't have either of those cars if I had the money to spend that each of them cost.

It's just you, if you actually had the money to spend on each of them as toys it wouldn't matter to you what they cost.

Not just you. I'm the same way.


Here are some better pics someone else took of the event.

And a vid of several of the cars leaving including the Veyron.

I've never really been a fan of the LFA. The SLS stock for stock supposedly crushes the Lexus and is what, over half the price cheaper and IMO better looking and comes from a way more prestigious mark too.
The Bugatti is an art, something about it is so handsome and menacing all at the same time.

So true, but keep in mind automotive forums are full of people that spend most of their disposable income on their cars, never mind rent, food, clothing, savings, investments, etc. Once you financially mature in the mind , so does how you use money to work for you vs. blowing it. Someone that buys a 2 million dollar car does not have only 2 million 5 dollars in their account. Additionally, does anyone really think a Veyron or for that matter a LF-A owner uses it as a daily with no other cars at their disposal? They likely have a fleet of nice vehicles at their disposable, so think outside YOUR box people. It's a different world.
