So if you can buy a Bugatti Veyron you obviously have "fuck you*" level money.

Well guess what? When you take your Veyron in for service or repairs that "fuck you" will get thrown back in your face!

Sort of. https://www.roadandtrack.com/carculture/a25435171/bugatti-veyron- repair-costs/

$42,000 to replace the gas tank?!? I could buy two great used cars for that much money.

*The phrase "fuck you level money" was reportedly coined by KISS guitarist/lead singer Paul Stanley who upon buying a new house spent $90,000 having a custom studio built in, then when it was finished walked in, spent 5 minutes twanging a guitar, said, "Nope, tear it down and start from scratch," and when the studio/builders/architect looked at him all boggleeyed, "Said, "Ay, I have Fuck you level money here, besides it's a tax write off, business expense.**"

**This courtesy of bassist/lead singer Gene Simmons who has always been the smartest in the band when it comes to merchandising and financial matters.

Uber luxury cars like Bentley, Aston Martin, Ferrari and Rolls Royce are know for their bespoke programs.

If you have a bunch of batshit insane ideas about how you wish to customize your car AND a couple of pallets of cash, those automakers will do JUST ABOUT ANYTHING YOU DESIRE.

24 caret gold plating on a Rolls Royce?

No problem.

A one off entirely custom made Ferrari for Eric Clapton?

But of course, "Slowhand."

A Rolls Royce that comes with a fully functional toilet?

I've seen that car; it was in a Las Vegas museum for a while. I was
just taken with how hideous it is. I didn't know it had a toilet.

In which my video guy and I compare the Mitsubishi RVR to the Subaru
Crosstrek. He had the great idea of wrapping it all up while sitting
in my living room.
