    Maybe it's just the angle, but the rear end on that California looks terrible. So ugly. And yeah, those wheels look awful too.

    Now that depends on what you want from it............


    If you want to guard all those millions, drive round in in your ferrari with the roof down in december or be like me earning a living from detailing exotic cars then its the place to be, on the other hand if iits just to say you live here then it is not the place to be as there are more lively places to be in the world. OK we get a GP every year & a few other things like a yacht show, tennis etc but thats about all its got going - unless you live a champagne lifestyle think about other places.

    it was also my dream to live here by the time i was 30 - i was 29 when i moved!

    I'd rather live in Eze. Right down the road in France and way cheaper. And it's not full of ugly, overpriced apartment buildings.

    I'm an American citizens. There is no such thing as a legal tax shelter for me. And I wouldn't count on these tax shelters lasting forever. The governments of the western world are cracking down on them big time. UBS anyone? Liechtenstein is probably next on the chopping block.

    Yes, I've been to Monaco. And yes, it is filled with overpriced RE that isn't particularly attractive. Unless you are insanely wealthy, you'll be living in tiny apartment/condo.

    You could have a villa just outside of Monaco for the same price. With way more space, a much better view, and far less commotion. If you want to go to the city, just drive in. And that is assuming you want to go there. Monaco isn't exactly NYC, or London, or Hong Kong, or Paris, or...

    I totally agree with you! I have lived in Monaco for a while, it only gets exciting during the GP and summer, otherwise its like a retirement home. You go to the clubs or restaurants and they are filled with old people, no offense of course. Like mentioned above its nothing like NYC, Paris, or any other major metro city; it's a very small place, can't really expect too much here. As for the real estate, sure some of it is nice, but insanely over-priced, you can get a house on one of the islands off of Cannes for the same price as a condo in Fontveille, but to each his own. Just my opinion of course, but I would only live again in Monaco once I am retired and rich :)

    I'm so glad I got the car back in the garage 5 mins ago!
