Lincoln Towncar, Acura Integra, Mazda pickup...what a joke.

Brazen06 · 10-02-2006, 04:08 PM

paul allen has a 959...those cars are freakin supercars of their time and i'd love to have one

MPowerKai · 10-02-2006, 04:27 PM

maybe they don't like to spend money on cars. The owner of Ikea is a billionaire and he drives a camry and flies economy. Some people just aren't big on cars. Now if you look at their houses....

den9 · 10-02-2006, 04:34 PM

these people dont know how to spend money
old ass volvo wagons, 8 year old lincolns, pick up trucks, h2's, one guy had a daewoo lol. these ppl are idiots

Brazen06 · 10-02-2006, 04:37 PM

well most billoinaires got to where they are from investing and making smart choices...cars are probably the worst investment you can make. me personally id have a small house and a 50 car garage if i were a billionaire,but to each their own

DoubleOughtCel · 10-02-2006, 04:50 PM

I'd have new car every month.

JoeScooby · 10-02-2006, 04:53 PM

lol.

I tell myself once in a while, if I ever win the lottery I would not go all out buying crazy expensive stuff. It's nice to see rich people not going out and spending all the money on some 500k+ car, maybe they some down to earth people and cars really dont mean jack ish to them. I would rather have a nice house then a nice car.

That must be a really odd site to spot Paul Allen out in public driving in an 88 Mazda Pickup. Seeing the one prince having a Daewoo in his collection of expensive suv's was an odd site to behold. Volvo, Volvo, Infiniti, Rolls Royce and a Daewoo all in one garage...hmm... It is pretty badass that Bill Gates put up all the $$ and research for the crash tests to get his 959 legal to drive. The Walton family also does have a fleet of 23 private jets in their possession. They didn't like the idea of having a private jet until they finally gave in and bought a couple in the early 90's. UPS actually doesn't have any corporate jets and makes all their execs fly economy...

igo4bmx · 10-02-2006, 05:58 PM

there is a reason why they are so rich- they know how to spend money wisely and carefully.

everyone knows a car is not the best investment to make.

the part owner of my company is one of the 40th richest people in PA, but he got upset when a printer wouldn't go into powersave mode lol

ToyotaTat · 10-02-2006, 06:31 PM

meh, the volvo was hot

licensedtothrill · 10-02-2006, 07:30 PM

Did you read the page though Paul Allen the guy with the 959 has a 413 foot yacht? iI have been around boats my whole life and the largest i was ever next to on the water was about 120+ feet and it was mind boggling on how big that is. 413 foot yacht could easily have a heli land pad on it as well. They aren't cheap people they probably just don't spend a lot of time on the road.

Ok yacht, personal helicopter, jet, and maybe more I don't think I would have that many cars either. Some people buy Lambos, and Ferraris to look wealthy and show it off. These people have no need to do that besides if I had teh cash and someone ragged on me because i drove an integra my body guard would make sure they never spoke again.

ok rant is done.

Renegade_ · 10-02-2006, 07:42 PM

that phantom is alright, its just a ganster car - aka I wouldnt drive it
