sjordan2 Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Nearly 13 million for a 1953 Ferrari at the RM auction at Villa d'Este. http://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-hy-autos-ferrari-sells-13-million-auction-20130529,0,5099973.story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Nearly 13 million for a 1953 Ferrari at the RM auction at Villa d'Este. Yeah, but cars like that aren't bought as "cars," they're bought as investments, like art. It's like buying a Van Gogh... you don't buy it because you like the picture and want to hang it in your foyer, you buy it because of what it is.

lordairgtar Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Oh I don't know Harry. I'd buy it as a car and drive the bejeezuz out of it. Of course it would never see Wisconsin snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way you pay 13 MILLION for a car and drive the bejeezuz out of it. You might want to... but you wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Speaking of Jay Leno driving his cars... several years ago I went to the Tonight Show. In the parking lot, in Jay's space, was a very cool yellow car. I can't remember now what the car was, but it was definitely a "classic" type of car. Yes, he does drive his cars! And parks them in the lot like a regular guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordairgtar Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Y You're not Jay Leno... True. The closest I ever came to owning anything considered an exotic or expensive were my 1969 Opel GT and my 1973 Eldorado rag top. And I drove them every day.
