Ronnie is awesome!
He always had great taste when it comes to cars. And probably still has.
I bet he has made some new purchases these days... too bad we don't anymore see videos showing his cars :'(

That's how you end up at 65 broke. How many top athletes fuck away their entire fortunes on expensive cars, drugs, and generally living above their means? Momentary money in the bank is nothing - permanent cash flow, dividends etc is the only way to hold onto that wealth. I look at that and I see wealth pissed away.
Wait.. did I just compare a Mr Olympia to an actual sports athlete?

If your annual income is 1,000,000 and you spend 300k on a car, you're no different than an average person who makes 100k per year spending 25-30k on a vehicle (which would be considered economical). Would you call a person who make a six figure salary frivolous for buying a new Honda Accord?

Plus Ronnie has been there for years. No way he has blew all the money away.
He probably has some investments and savings to keep bread in his table for rest of his life.
Don't say he's too dumb to do that... when you have some money, there is people to do those actions to you according to your targets.

But his high annual income was very temporary.. you think Larry Scott is still making the big bucks? The majority of real sports stars often make many many times what Coleman did during his heyday.. and still end up broke 10 years after their career is over. Now Coleman MIGHT have a ton of money properly invested that will ensure a high standard of living through passive income his entire life.. but I sorta doubt it.
If Ronnie played his cards right he would be set for life.. I guess well know in 20 years (if hes still alive) if he's enjoying a great life or hocking pics of his glory days at conventions.

But Jay on the other hand is also making more?

owning such expensive methods of transportation, you can now....
get speeding tickets that much easier?
-
never been a big fan of the bentley.
lines are smooth but too common. you see it coming down the road and most car guys would know its a bentley, but to others it looks like another import.
if i was going to drop that coin, i'd buy a 955. but thats just me.

Thats because it's a modern day interpretation of the Bentley R Type Continental from 50s, which was the fastest 4 seater of the day, just like the Bentley Continental GT was supposed to be. See the resemblance?

The up keep on a 300k car is where people run into problems. The 5k mile tune up can run 5-10 grand alone. 800 dollar oil changes etc. And most 300k cars aren't daily drivers. Which means they're sitting in a garage collecting dust and depreciating.

Thats why they sell them when the first big maintenance appointment comes around...

yup. i can get the nostalgia behind keeping the lines and i respect it, but i dunno, i think if i were going to spend that kind of money i'd want a car with more 'pop'. it all comes down to personal preference. i think to the number of people buying them makes them less appealing. around here you'll see bentley's every once in a while. never see a 955. its just got that wow factor for me when i see it for some reason.

955? That's Porsche's internal code for the Cayenne, I believe. You mean 959?

no way. I do not buy that it would cost anything over a couple hundred per oil change. 5 k mile tune ups are for older models. These days it's 10-15k per tune up/oil change, unless you're just being anal.

Tune up on this car was $1200 and that was 15 years ago. Insurance is probably around $7000 to $10,000 a year on the Bentley easy. My uncle was paying $36,000 a year on a brand new Rolls silver spirit and brand new Testarossa together. That was back in the early 80's

If you're replacing parts, maybe, but a typical oil change no way. I'm reading current tune-ups on bentley's run approx. 1500 depending on the parts needing to be replaced but an oil change no more than a couple hundred bucks.

sorry, i meant the 599. lol
even the 430/ scuderia. just something beautiful about those cars.
