The wealth doesn’t bother me, but the waste of it is a travesty.

“Yet another smaller building had a room full of high-end motorcycles.”

I have three rescue dogs, a couple of rescue Ducatis would
fit right in.

(the spell check here doesn't recognize “Ducati”, what kind of heathens run this joint?)

An eloquently put example of one of the basic tenets of
conservatism.

Between the eight large buildings was a glass-walled building much like a modern car dealer showroom. It contained three McLaren F1s, a 288 GTO Evo, an F50 and an F40 LM. The F40 LM was painted black with a full black leather interior with red piping. It was fitted with A/C, power windows and like every car in the collection was right-hand drive. The Brunei sun was slowly cooking these cars as the glass showroom acted as a very efficient greenhouse.

What a waste. There are a lot of driving enthusiasts who would love a chance to drive the hell out of these cars on a track. But they'll never be able to afford one, and rich idiots buy them and leave them to bake un-driven in the sun.

Jay Leno should buy the whole lot for 19 cents on the dollar.

3 McClaren F1’s?!?!? They are almost priceless. The three Ferrari’s as well. Sickening.

Cameron: The 1961 Ferrari 250GT California. Less than a hundred were made. My father spent three years restoring this car. It is his love, it is his passion.
Ferris: It is his fault he didn't lock the garage.

Truth sometimes actually is quite a bit stranger than fiction.

He’s like a one-man United Nations.

Wealth and power wrapped up in a big ball of stupid.

At least he actually drives them some times.

I enjoy his Popular Mechanics columns.

He is a mechanic at heart. He’s not doing it to impress people. He’s not doing it for himself. He’s doing it for the cars. That’s my impression anyway. I really think Jay Leno should get out of sho biz and get into the museum business.
