Plenty of people care, it is a disease of the upper middle class as they haven't yet realized that no one gives a $hit what you have/who you are/what you know.  How many times do we get off track talking about watches (leave the cats out of this one)?

 

But then again, when consumerism drives 72% of the US economy, you end up trying to sell a story to justify the price. 

 

I owe you the first beer when you get back, heading to PVG mid September if you want to meet up on that side of the bigger pond...

basically who cares

these guys pump prices up on the cars for what?

too say that they sold it at some ridiculous price

please they deserve what they get

Ferrari built the cars to be driven not to be show cased 

so call me a what you will but they are the ones who drive the prices up so us the real drivers can t buy the cars and drive them 

its self cleansing I say

Jay Leno and the like are what drives the prices to ridiculous levels

and some asshole thinks he can buy and sell it for even more

bonus I say when thy get taken

serves them right

clyde in Saigon reliving the Vietnam War !

Rumors were that RM was going to donate some of their fees to charity.

They did this as a publicity move and I think they were successful.
