It's idiots like these guys that reflect poorly on all of us

Owner is probably known on this board. how many Yellow LaF in Socal? Probably no more than 3. Most owners are semi-famous. Everyone and their uncle has a smart phone and will take vids; it's not as if LaF is inconspicuous.
The thing is, the drive has so much money that he/she doesn't care and can easily afford the $500/hour lawyer fee.
must be a supercar meet, a Bugatti was also there

Car is from Qatar and owned by the Royal Family.

 

Just cuz you are a billionaire and think you are smarter than everyone else...doesnt mean you are. Quite the opposite mostly.

There is a program on cable: the Surprising Lives of Billionaires.

First two episodes were about houses, planes, yachts and cars. What they do is buy bigger and more to prove to other billionaires that they have more money than the other billionaires. They have so many houses they cant stay in them for any length of time. They move around so much they dont make any real friends. An empty and shallow life indeed.

Aspen has just approved a bigger airport. Now we will be able to fly bigger Gulfstreams into Aspen. as a leading pol said: Aspen just cant survive without this. cost is estimated at $120 million. A highway will have to be moved. A new 80,000 square ft terminal. In a town with about 6000 full time residents.

 

None of this even surprises me. It's Beverly Hills where people have more money than brains.

 

And we wonder why Ferrari/ Exotic Owners get their cars vandalized when parked. Blowing through stop signs, using neighborhood streets as Their quarter mile drag strip. Ass clowns like this Guys Do more to hurt our image in anything I can think of.

 

The problem is not exotic owners in this case. It's foreign owners. If they're titled, they'll likely have immunity. No repurcusions means no responsibility needed.

It's a real shame entitled heirs and other d-bags are attracted to these cars, but enthusiasts would never put their car at risk with that sort of behavior, much less everyone in that neighborhood.

 

they may not have immunity dipolomaticaly but they can be barred from entry and or deported / asked to leave and cars could be impouned.

 

Years ago we had a customer from a ME country that will not be named, but they have a monarchy. This guy was somewhere down the line of royalty, what I would call lesser aristocracy but in his mind he was clearly superior to any plebian American.

He insisted on driving that first day with a couple of us, so we let him. The first stop sign he ran I thought maybe he didn't see, the second we told him that he needed to stop when he saw those signs.

He informed us that HE didn't ever have to stop at lights or signs, those were for the other people.

We told him, as tactfully as possible, that this was the US and everybody had the same traffic laws and that if he wanted to drive here he would have to do the same or a serious accident was virtually assured.

 

Where are the cops? The car should be impounded. The video should provide enough evidence.

 

Thankfully titling won't mean immunity.

There is certainly a split in owners of nice cars and there are many videos out there similar to this that give the rest a bad rap.

 

Goes to show money can't buy class.

 

In my experience (admittedly limited) earned money nearly always brings class. Inherited money much less often does so. Of course YMMV.

 

I would have disagree with you on that. You have rappers and people like Kim Kardashian making boat loads of money and most of those people have no class at all. And yes they earned there money. No one handed to them.

 

True...but it is their lack of class that keeps them in the spotlight and keeps them making money. If they all of a sudden started acting like normal human beings people would stop paying attention to them and their income would dry up.

 

That is a very good observation and I agree with you 100 percent.


The question I have for you is. Why do people feel the need to follow these morons?

 

Because people are idiots? I have no idea... I don't pay attention to any of them

 

Looks like those idiots watched 'Against All Odds' one too many times!

Talk about the wrong place to do that or what. Idiots like this is why they went overboard with our driving laws up here.

 

"They" do this in UK too.
In my experience, the "public" does not think you are a prat because you own a Ferrari, but think that you are a prat if you are a young male from a ME country, no matter which car he drives.

 

In London we see lots of Exotic cars with ME number plates. They park everywhere, speed, run lights. They know the law is pretty helpless.

 

I take it that a prat is the same as a brat in the U.S.

 

Yes, similar. If I was not a nice guy, I would call them something much, much worse, but it is not politically correct!

 

In the states the political correct movement might be out the window if Trump is elected president. As much as I dislike Trump, I dislike this whole politically correct trip more.
