Jack in the Box 01-24-2008, 09:21 AM My neighbor pulled aside to show case his new ride. Very impressed with the Bently GTand $230,00. tag.

BigAl205 01-24-2008, 09:23 AM I'll bet he can't fit a big screen tv in that Bently.:)
Jack in the Box 01-24-2008, 09:36 AM This man is fortunate enough to also have a Lexus LX in his drive way that can handle his heavy loads.
My pooch and I have enough we can handle with our E

Shiny shorts and wife beater gives'em away every time
BlueWillow 01-24-2008, 11:21 AM Hmmm, I could think of a lot cooler things to do with $230,000 than buy that car..... E's are way cooler :D

Hajidub 01-25-2008, 07:58 AM First of all, watch out for loner wolves considering you have a pug...(thread joke). Second, next time you talk to your neighbor tell him you can't believe he spent that much money on a volkswagon .
King of Canada 01-25-2008, 08:02 AM It's pretty funny that he picked burgandy. I mean, does he also have orange wallpaper and cook everything in the microwave?

Yeah, like pay off the house, have a little in the bank..........DEBT FREE BABY!
UnoKitty 01-25-2008, 10:16 AM If you are in to that sort of thing, a Bently is nice.
Though, I wouldn't want to park it for very long at Sawgrass Mills (http://fort.lauderdale.retailguide.com/data/m100968.htm). Nor would I want to leave it at the airport while I was out of town. Nor would I park it near the beach. I mean, my Miata got its top slashed while parked on A1A (http://www.skypic.com/florida/1-4306.jpg) with the doors unlocked.
A Bently might fit in better on Los Olas (http://www.lasolasboulevard.com/), near where I used to live. Though, you could walk to the Toy Store (http://www.thenewautotoystore.com/showroom.html) and find many similar cars.
You, and your puppy, look good in the Element. I think that you made the better automotive choice.
Best of luck,
Uno
ApriliaGuy 01-25-2008, 12:47 PM You know its ok to shut the door on you E don't ya? :wink:

superjet 01-25-2008, 01:35 PM For $230,000 he bought a garage queen too. And the depreciation of those things is absolutely incredible. He lost $50,000 just signing on the dotted line!
I was at the Barrett Jackson auction last week and there was a 1996 Bentley Continental R with 5000 miles on it. It still had the $326,000 window sticker in place and it sold for $86,000!
That is a car that wasn't ever driven and all the documents in order.
You can buy the same car your Neighbor did that is a year old for $180,000 all day long.
Baffling.
BrownSquirrel 01-25-2008, 02:01 PM I dont even think Bentley's are that great.
They are definatly nice, dont get me wrong.
I just think there are much nicer cars for that price.
MICHAEL WATTS 01-25-2008, 11:16 PM It must be great just living next door to a guy who can afford a $230,000.00
car. I bet he has good cookouts in the back yard.

Dusty Hill from ZZ Top lives a few blocks form me. I know "of" someone that lives next door to him, he says when Dusty throws a party, he invites the whole block, that way no one calls the cops when the noise gets too loud.
It's tough trying to drag my house a few blocks closer;-)
Brent Foster 01-26-2008, 04:26 AM looks like he is from russian mafia:D
to quote Borat: "eeees NICE!":-D
btw, cute pug! I've got one too.(a snuffling little tornado)
Here is a hands on review of a Bentley, not sure if this is the same one as to motor, etc., but the writer is excellent, here is an excerpt.
A still better measure is the car's awesome stopping power. From nearly max speed, I went to the brakes almost full force. Many interesting things happened at once. First, my tongue came unraveled and smeared the windshield with saliva. Second, the W12 engine let out a monstrous molten burp of an overrun, and I wouldn't be surprised if gouts of flames spat from the quad exhaust. Third, the 9.5- by 20-inch Pirelli P-Zeros radials put their talons into the asphalt while the car's antilock brake and electronic brake-force distribution systems ciphered frantically to keep the wheels from locking up. Fourth, the car's integrated rear wing flipped up to create an air brake. Before I would have thought mechanically possible, the GT Speed was standing still on the tarmac as a cloud of dust swept up into its draft settling around us.
Consider my dumb thoroughly founded.
