Yeah, I don't think people drive Veyrons to work everyday.

If you actually had a Veyron, why the hell wouldn't you drive it to "work" everyday?

I guess that's true. Most people who can afford a Veyron don't really "work" very hard...
Fair enough, I guess, but the original point still stands - people don't drive exotic cars on a day-to-day basis.

Why would multi millionaires and billionaires be people that dont work hard? If they are that rich they are probably extremely hardworking people.

They're probably retired. Of course, they once worked hard, unless you're Paris Hilton.

DeMoN 06-10-2006 11:25 AM

ZfrkS62 06-10-2006 11:28 AM

60 bucks = 40 GBP = 42 litres of fuel over here - a single tank in a small car.

You guys have it too good.

Some do... see quite a number of exotics in the downtown area here in Vancouver. In fact, I saw a yellow F40 during rush hour yesterday (Friday afternoon) going the direction away from downtown (presumably leaving work?).

of course, it's all relative.

Even if your fuel was really cheap to begin with, doubling the price has a massive impact.

Anyways - after dropping £130k on a 430, fuel wouldn't be a worry of mine. Fuck - as if most people will do a years average mileage in their 430? :roll:
