I've always wondered what the CEOs and top execs at places like Subaru, Kia, even Saab, VW etc drive. I mean they HAVE to drive a company car. But I'm sure they want to drive more luxury. Who knows.

 

since when is a Lincoln Town Car a piece of shit? Who'd of guessed Warren Buffet would have a perspective different than yours

 

Buffett drives a Cadillac DTS now ..

His Towncar & the thrifty plate was on ebay auctioning for charity

Think he said smth like: last time my wallet was auctioned it was worth xx thousand dollars .. now pound for pound the car should be worth xx million

 

I would like to see what the biggest lottery winners are driving and how much money they have left.

 

yup..
I am wearing a 200 dollar watch. If I Buffet's money I'd probably be wearing.. a 200 dollar watch. I just don't care about watches that much. I WOULD have a much nicer car. I'm sure Warren has some ridiculous stuff that no one else here would think to spend thousands/millions of dollars on. People like what they like.

 

right .. Buffett's got a private jet under his company

Hell, his company also owns a private jet share-ownership company NetJets!

 

I wonder how many of those guys even drive those cars every day? I suspect some (the Porsche owners for example) have those cars as 'toys' and drive something else the majority of the time. Second, how many of those guys do most of their traveling by air, even when they could drive? Chicago to New York City is an easy 800 mile drive, but those guys probably wouldn't know that. Third, how many utilize a driving service for everyday commuting?

The Towncar is certainly no POS. It consistantly ranks high in vehicle quality ratings. Ultra-conservative design, sure, but POS, no. And for someone who's not a car enthusiest (Warren Buffet aparantly is not), it would be a great blend of quality, comfort, luxury image, and frugal pricing.

Well I don't know what the rest of them drive, but I drive an S

 

I guess it depends on how they spent their money before they were rich. If you live pay check to pay check now, I'm guessing you will live pay check to pay check after winning the lotto. I knew this Filipino guy who won $20 million in the lotto here in San Diego. Anyone over 30 in the car scene down here probably knows who I am talking about. I know he had several NSX's. I guess one wouldn't do. I saw one and it was tricked out with a Gruppe M superchager. I think it was the first one in the states. He also had a NOS's Viper and one or two Lambos. I think he had a land crusier he shuttled his kids in. Last I heard his wife divorced him, took half and he moved back to the PI. Nice guy, but he didn't know too much about cars. Once he saw my supra with a single kit and thought it was good for 400 HP.
