i have no respect for people who spend their parents hard earned money on things like this. There is no need for that many cars, especially when it wasn't he who made the money.
There is a local industrial family here of which the founding member off the family fortune worked his absolute **** off to build up the family wealth and business, all to have his son, who would now be in his 40's i would think ( father in his 60-70's ) buy 2 brand new Bentley's, because he couldn't decide if he wanted the 2-door GT or the 4-door Flying Spur.
The son doesn't really "work" and seemingly has blatant disregard for the amount of hard work and effort his father put in to create the family wealth, and when the father never spent a dime on things that were off no necessity.
I come from the school of thought where i feel my parents don't owe me anything, i owe them everything.

I'm pretty sure that was the Veyron at the American LeMans series at Miller Motorsports park in UT. There was bugs all over the front of it and I believe it had Colorado plates. There was also an LP640 with bugs everywhere and Lambo of Denver plates on it. I'll have to dig up the pics
