He is a very friendly guy and keeps his cool, I must say. Cops really hate being proven wrong though, don't they. I love how the cops ask him why he doesn't rent cars, lol. It's his money and he makes damn good use of it. Who wouldn't want to do that.

The one cop said he was pulled over for cruising in the left lane, that was the biggest farce. Everyone, and I mean everyone in the U.S drives in the left lane at the most incorrect speed, it is my biggest peeve when travelling in the U.S. That cop would have to spend his entire day pulling people over for that if he was serious.

Whenever I come across a slow down in traffic on our local Canadian highway, it is always an American from Michigan in an SUV towing a boat trailer at the speed limit or less and causing traffic to back up. Americans live in the left lane, lol

You're not the only one who feels that way. If you ever want to find an a*hole to hold up as a bad example of an American, just look in the left lane of any interstate highway here. You'll find plenty of examples. For that reason, I use the far right hand lane and pass a ton of people who are just sitting in the left lane and impeding traffic.

Yup so true Ken, I can relate to using the far right lane for passing, you are forced to do that because of the idiots in the left lane.

Me. Why put yourself in harms way? Driving a fancy Lambo with no license plate is asking to be pulled over. Even if the cop does nothing wrong you are exposing yourself to being hit on the side of the road by a drunk, etc.

Well I always thought that I would love to ship my car over to Germany to drive it on the Ring, or to Italy to drive it on the Stelvio Pass, but of course people like me don't waste that kind of money on things like that. But I can relate to wanting to drive your favourite vehicle in a different part of the world. Renting a car isn't the same as driving a car that you own and love. He just happens to have billions of dollars to do that so why not fly it around the world to drive it where he wants . The license plate thing, the noise, and other details are things he obviously expects to get pulled over for, but he is prepared. He doesn't seem worried about being pulled over, but that danger surely exists. Maybe he will get side-swiped one day and it will make him think twice.

I wonder about his car model too.
Also wonder if there is a temporary plate he could get that would prevent his getting stopped all the time? Maybe he likes talking to cops?

Also notice the "cover" scene they show to get you to watch videos? There are five cops after him, one even blocking his path. I saw a longer version of this video and never saw this happen. Very dishonest cover to get you to check it out, and this is so common on YouTube. It is a practice that should be banned.
