So when not misconstrued, I don't believe my comment to be assinine.

To be fair, if I had that sort of wealth my garage would look similar

Yes, that is the Underground Twin Turbo Gallardo with 1000hp I believe. They have a 1500hp version also.

SW has some super nice cars. He is a true car enthusiast. He was the first C5 Corvette in the 9s if I remember correctly. His ZR1 is sweet with the rims.
not to mention is record holding Boost Logic Supra

The quote you quoted can be construed as asinine. I don't see how bringing in a person's background is an appropriate argument against the country's distrubution of wealth. Seeing as this is E90post, though...

... and at most I'd have three cars; probably none as an uber-exotic.

I think when you have that much money though, practicality disappears from your vocabulary.

I take it these mansions and car collections are owned by highly trained surgeons or entrepreneur's?

lol. Quoted for posterity.

Nice show of maturity. I make a comment about wealth distribution and you resort to name calling. Smooth

FWIW, I'm not a Democrat.
