Happily .. after reading the posts in this thread .. I'm still not on Instagram and will continue to not know who the owner is.

Sux about the Ferrari though.

And the M2 in AY sorta Sux too. not that the owner cares about my opinion anyway.

Nothing against the M2, but those cars in his collection are on a whole different level. it would be like me deciding to add an 85 Chrysler LeBaron to my garage. Or perhaps a Cadillac Cimmeron. Why????
It could be multiple reasons. One is that the M2 is "the hot car" right now. Another is that some cars are more fun than others---slow car fast, and what not. I remember reading a R&T article that talked about how a mini is as fun to drive at the limit as a Lambo Murcielago.
Just look at Jay Leno's eclectic car collection. From slow poke steamers to a McLaren F1 and Pratt&Miller C6 Corvette.

I'd like to see an M2 in Silverstone or Azurite Black, never been a fan of this E46 yellow.

With all that money, it would not have been my choice in color, but to each his own.

... I'd wager most are missing the point of the color of this M2, it's just to 'piss' everyone off because-because.

I agree and it's refreshing to see someone with a M2 having that perspective. But you know people on this forum will defend that choice to death.

For the record I don't disagree that the M2 is a good car, but like you said, if I'm able to buy Ferrari's, special Porsche's, etc a budget friendly M car likely isn't on my radar.

I concur. I have a guy that calls me his "car guy" after I got him a very special Ferrari FF.

People that have extreme wealth can be very down to earth and usually have a very good sense of humor. At least in my experience.

And the price is typically arbitrary, it's just a number. When someone like him purchases something they want it, when they ask the price it's usually just to know how much to put on their card or wire the funds.


I don't get people sometimes, if they guy wanted a special color (not in the standard color palette) and he was willing to pay for it as he goes for crazy colors it's his choice, that's why it's called...
