i dont know guys - i saw porsches, hummers, a rolls royce, infiniti, an F'ing bentley continental gt. i wouldn't say they're necessarily driving beaters. you gotta remember that rich people still need practical cars, for practical uses. not every millionaire/billionaire drives around exotics all day hollerin' at bitches and smokin blunts.

If I was billionaire, I wouldn't drive myself everyday to work in traffic. I'd get a limo to shuttle me around everywhere and a helicopter to go across town. However, since I'm a car guy, I'd have a nice collection of fast cars for each day of the month and just drive that whenever I felt like it. For a daily driver I'd want to go low-key like a Camry or something for reliability, convenience, comfort and anonymity.

umm, just because you are rich, does not mean you don't want something reliable. What good is a ferrari to you if it is always in the shop (not saying they are always in the shop, simply an analogy). He also listed anonymity, and there is nothing low key as a camry, with BULLETPROOF reliability.

Btw, I highly doubt Bill Gates only have 2 Porsches ..

He's been cited as one who love speeding, and one of the books cited he drove his LS400 (at the time) to pick up his buddy Warren Buffett

I have a friend that knew his kids in high school and went to a house of his here in San Diego. I think they all went to a public school and my friend didn't know how loaded he was until he went to their house one day. The stories he told me. Must be nice.
