Ah yes, another car suited to the discriminating tastes of porn directors and Middle East oligarchs everywhere.

Will keep me away from an otherwise desirable product.

Thanks. Looks like a Texas plate on it. And it certainly had a better looking front than the Rolls.

Terrible looking. Definitely won't win any beauty contests, but one has to give Buckminster Fuller a pass on anything he does!
