I didn't work on the Ferrari's (if only

) but I reaallly like them. For the first 4 door Ferrari (and first and only Ferrari estate/station wagon) I'd ever seen I thought it was an astonishingly refined and stylish design. Its bespoke but just looks so RIGHT

But then I also dont like that Bentley, an ugly mash up of a design like something produced by a teenager with a new understanding of glass fibre too much time and no understanding of Bentley ethos. MPW you whores.... how could you

2792 Vehicles

Est Worth Bought New at Dealer $2,373,200,000
Yes Two Billion Dollars. Say a loss of roughly 50% so 1 Billion in assets tied up in vehicles.

Now why does one person need 457 Mercedes 600's?

Polar,
I'm guessing it took you the week or so since this was posted to make these "rough" calculations. Lol. It would take me about a week just to count to 2792 ("then carry the 1"). Isn't that crazy, 1 Billion in used cars! I think that would easily qualify as the biggest used car dealership.

Well, duh...in case one has 457 car-less friends drop in unexpectantly.

Actually it took me 5 mins to figure out how many cars. Excel, cut and paste the list. Then subtract 3 for every make (each make had three lines of space between). The rough part was figuring out how much each car cost new, and is more of a rough guess by average.
