I dropped off a donation to an auction to benefit the victims of the Emanuel AME church shooter yesterday. The auction takes place at the Charleston Place hotel in downtown Charleston. I roll up to the fancy hotel in my old truck an all the valets start looking at me suspiciously: "who are you and what are you doing here." I explain and ask if I can leave my truck there for a few while I drop off my donation. "Put it over there," one of them tells me. So I back up and park the old girl next to a Bentley convertible.
I googled it. Turns out it's a Continental and it retails for $240,000. Now I know why they were watching me so closely.
Yeah. My work takes me downtown a fair bit. I love cruising around all the big houses and pricey cars with my old truck. It does have a "real person" feel to it, like drinking beer at a cocktail party.
My sister in law's son can not believe I drive my old pile of junk daily ! And mine is much newer ! A 78 f 100 .
I get some looks when I go out of my small town ....
I understand having money, but seriously who needs a piece of appendage enhancement like that to show off all the time? If you were an actual track nut, then sure, have one race prepped and use it as intended. But supercars turn into suckycars when commutes are involved.

One does not commute in an exotic... one DRIVES.
Personally I'd like to do the Silver State Classic and am in the market for such a vehicle. I've toyed with the idea of running my '70 in the 100 MPH class. I'm sure it'd feel like 150 MPH in that thing.
Wow cool picture! I would take the Bentley over the truck though. I could build a lot of awsome trucks for what I could get out of selling the Bentley!
Remember, for some folks buying a car even a $200,000 car, is like buying a pair of shoes (from a fashion sense) or maybe a candy bar from a monetary standpoint, and means nothing to their finances, at least on a percentage basis. This doesn't mean they are to be trusted, of course, ha ha.
You need an (empty?) jar of Grey Poupon in the glovebox to whip out at just the right moment along with a good deadpan delivery. It may only work on older TV viewers though:
