*sigh* I guess this sort of thing was bound to happen... but the idea
of cars like this fetching SO MUCH money is repulsive. Why? LOL because
I'll never be able to own one now for sure!

Then again I suppose its no different from someone collecting Tiffany
lamps or precious renaissance artworks... or anything rare and
desierable. These are low production number, rare cars - the auction
stated only 1 of 14 was made like that model.
