If you watch the latest Top Gear on the Veyron, Jeremy talks about how the controls are made of magnesium aluminum and cost 4500 British pounds(~$8000) each.

Sooooooo hang on one second. $8K apiece. You could buy 5.33 of my cars with that. And that'll get you 5 Nissan Maximas so you can use 4 for parts cars. With the other 8 grand you get a freaking speedometer. But hey, it's got 4 turbochargers!
