RR Phantom....there is no equal, every other car comes in third place to that.

it looks like a panzer... an old panzer

 

EVER?

Duesenberg.

 

+1 Maybach is amazing.

 

+1

Honestly, it doesnt have the newest of technology. But at the time, it was 1000 times more luxurious then any Mercedes.

 

Where do you live?

 

Greatest ever is probably the W100 MB, the big 600 from the 60s.

This car still has an amazing presence on the road (especially in black with blacked out windows). Keeping one running can be expensive though...

 

Okey you were doing fine but now I want to see pictures of your S65! Now. Otherwise you're a troll to me.

And how big is your middle class anyway? Continental GT and so on, I find it hard to believe. I doubt your statement about Phantom as well, it's pretty limited how many Phantoms Rolls roll out every year and my guess would be half heading to US and the other half spread to Middle East and big European nations. I think the production is around 1000 Phantom's? Are you sure you don't just live nearby someone with a Phantom and you watch him every time he leaves from work/ comes home? I do see a yellow Koenigsegg CCX every third or fourth day, doesn't mean that they are too boring or too many around LOL

The poverty is heavy in Russia so if what you say is correct, the class difference in huge in your country. Look at what you say about a small apartment in center Moscow, holy crap... Pretty stiff prices. On the other hand, high property prices at one concentrated area often result in high amount of luxury cars, so that could make scence.


I don't have much experience with those big luxury cars but if I was given choice of any car, the ultimate status symbol is the Phantom. Phantom in your garage = You have made it!

In real life, I would most likely get a Audi A8 (generation D3) with a V8 turbodiesel (go on a 400 miles trip without filling the tank, it does cornering great, quattro is superb during snowy conditions, Bang & Olufsen stereo is pretty good, huge boot space (probably bigger than all SUV's), adjustable everything, weighs much less than the competetion and the build quality beats S-class and 7-series by some - also a quite good statement without being flashy - I like that) & I would black it out and put on S8 brakes. Voila. Who needs a train anyway.

 

Love the steering wheel on your S...

Never said it was the purpose in life (the purpose in my life i Zonda F Clubsport) - you said it. Good for you a Phantom isn't considered something high end.

 

I don't get your point. I didn't understand the video either, most of what I saw was Lada looking cars

 

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Jay Leno.

 

Well, indeed, europe (or even the US to a lesser extent) spent zillions on their infrastucture, meaning you don't have cars driving on destroyed roads or parked in barns that would make you look poor even in Irak, and the same amount was spent on the income of real middle class (teachers, nurses etc, not BS middle class of a moudaiop whose money -just maybe- grew faster than his brain), meaning you usually don't have to drive around with 3 security cars in armored vehicles, and you usually don't have to fear for your life (but then again, most people having that fear in russia have good reasons to) unless you drive too fast on a B road.

 

I feel very sorry for someone who comes on an internet chat board and misrepresent their level of wealth to the upside. Downplaying for the wealthy I understand, but the opposite is just sad.

I did a quick search for real estate in Moscow, and in the center of the city prices are Manhatten-type prices, $2M for a closet. But drive 5 km and that $2M actually buys a real house, it seems that unlike NYC it is not nearly as spread out. People still choose to live in Manhatten and pay ludicrous prices because of geography, although apparently the same is true in Moscow despite a more condensed area. To each his own I guess.

 

for what its worth and you do seem to be the authority...

what do white basketball players drive?

 

$900.000 for a Maybach 62 in Russia? That's a steal

If I were to buy a 57S here in Denmark, I would have to comehow come up with $1.8 million.

A bugatti Veyron would cost me $1.45 million, and then I would have to add various taxes like "vehicle excise duty" which is 180% and other nice taxes.

 

You only beat us Norwegians by a small margin... 150.000 $ for a used F355... That's life - f'n unfair sometimes

Bugatti Royale.
