How the other half (percent) lives...
from MSNBC:

Even the crashes are stylish: Million-dollar wreck in Monaco

Car aficionados, you might want to avert your eyes.

The wealthy French Riviera city state of Monaco was the scene of a pileup involving five luxury cars with an estimated value of more than $1.1 million.

The collision, involving a Bentley Azure (worth an estimated $400,000), a Mercedes S Class ($120,000), a Ferrari F430 ($230,000), an Aston Martin Rapide ($230,000) and a Porsche 911 ($130,000), occurred in front of Monaco's Place du Casino, according to Sky News.

The British TV network reported that the incident began when the Bentley scraped the side of the Mercedes before plowing into the Ferrari. Then, the Bentley proceeded to run into the Aston Martin and the Porsche.

1. No problem. Earl can fix them up cheap
I remember his starting price was $29.95 a couple of decades ago, so his price was always the best in town.

2. There is nothing more absurd to me
than dropping a half-mill on a car that depreciates the moment you open the driver's side door. That being said, I think it's all about *(s)he who dies with the most toys wins.*
