Lifestyles of the Top .1%

Tuesday Jan 31, 2012

I noticed a Maserati GT parked at the neighborhood tennis court while walking Bentley this past weekend. Gee massive cross drilled rotors to handle the (I would guess) 175 mph top speed, unless it is electronically limted to less than that. Hm does one really need this to get down our street, speed limit 35, to the tennis court. 

Uh no, but then one does not need a diamond necklace either, and how fast will a neckalace take yo anywhere?  Here are the ten fastest cars. I never heard of half of them but my point is, this is flaunt it while you got it social mood, only seen at or near the top of markets. 

Most owners rent track time to let these ponies run.....

I had the pleasure of living in Germany and owning a BMW 740. The "recommended” speed limit was around 80 mph (130 kmph) and the max was whatever your car could do “safely”. I usually stayed between 100-130 mph.
Over here I do not see the reason to own a fast car. If you can’t max out the speed legally then why buy it.
Also, do you know the other 1% in the U.S.A.? Only 1% of our country’s population serves in the military.
