Ferrari Mailing List: Re: RM Auctions Tops $125 Million in Sales, Ferrari 275 GTB Sells for $27.5 Million

[Adam Green (FlatCrank]

There's nothing impressive about a billionaire risking millions; no more impressive than a small boy risking a dollar instead of a penny when he can afford to lose either amount.

Just for the record cLyDe 

Lawrence Stroll, the guy that bought the car, is one of those guys that drives the tires off of his cars.  

I've personally seen him racing in the classic challenge races put his GTO full on sideways with smoke (literally) coming off the tires - more than once - pushing hard for nothing more than a plastic trophy.

You'd probably like him too - really nice guy that LOVES his cars, spends real money making and keeping them perfect, and then drives them like he stole them.  Not sure he even owns an ascot - heck, I'm not even sure what an ascot is.

It has found a good home.

It's more stupid people 

With more stupid money

Same shit happened when Enzo died 

My god it's just a car

But hey it is what it is!

Most if not all of these guys who buy the cars are pricks anyway who run around with blazers and ascots 

You see them in the Formula 1 paddock club acting like they know what the are seeing

Much like a kid opening a door while two people are making out!

The kid knows something is going on he just doesn't know what!

Gotta go fly 

If I ever hit the lottery I would buy the cars from those jerks and drive the wheels off them with my friends off this list at a race track 

Because that's where they be long not in some garage catching dusk

These cars have soul !
