You could feed every child in Ethiopia with that money. Or 5 2nd graders in Santa Ana

[Brandon]

That could sway a lot of politicians.

Darn it!  I missed being the highest bidder by a few dollars!

cheap ass.

[Stradling]

I withdrew my bid after I noticed the lack of cup holders in the car.

Since it's a Race Car, wonder if the buyer asked if it's been in an accident?  Because the moment my car gets a dent on it, it seems to drive the value down 50%.

Hah, absolutely they know everything about the history of the car if it sells for that much.

 

It would have to be certified at 100% by the Ferrari owners club of America.

 

Cars like this are purchased as investments, not to tool around in.

It's all I had in my pocket.

Is this the same car that Cameron wrecked?

[Tank]

[Ray McKigney]

 

Yep, it is the same car. The buyer should have gotten a carfax.

[Blarg]

No, Cameron wrecked a (replica) 1963 250 GT California Spyder. GT standing for Gran Tourisimo and Spyder was the designation for a convertible. There were only 50 built but they were for street use and had about 237 hp.

 

The GTO was a coupe and only 39 were built.  The O was the designate for Omologato which ment it was designed for the track but only necessary modifications are made to make them street legal. Back then it would mean mirrors, brake lights, turn indicators and headlights. The GTO ran at about 300 hp.

i love old (and new) ferarris, but never got into the old racing ones.

there is a rabid following for them though. seems like every year the new world's most expensive car is an old race-winning ferrari.

To me the Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic is by far the coolest of the mega expensive cars.  It held the most expensive car in the world trophy for a while at around $33mm.  I think there are only a couple left.  Ralph Lauren owns one of them.  Pictures don't do it justice.  In person it is an absolutely stunning looking car.  The lines are incredible.

That car really is just a giant penis.  Look at it!

[Tank]

It looks like something Ace and Gary would drive.
