Ever Driven or Ridden in a Six-Digit Car?

Waitaminit!!! I also sat in a Ferrari 360 Modena! The keys to it came to my department when I was working at Audi ::slurp::

I worked at a dealership and occasionally got to ride in fancy cars. One day some chump inherited a Rolls and used it for a trade-in on 3 new cars…

Plus I got to ride in the Toyota Monster truck in Denver which was an utter piece of shit. Expensive and shattered its transmission everytime it was used…the engine was too big and all of the energy came down to one normal drive shaft.

My (late) uncle was a special effects director on numerous films and also designed and made all the ‘Thunderbirds’ models, so as you can expect was pretty minted. Luckily for me I got to drive round in all sorts of cool cars: Bentley Mulsanne Turbo, Rolls Royce Silver something or other to name but two… don’t know if they are six figures but they were certainley pretty ‘fly’.

Double-decker buses in Dublin cost about $50K each, and I’ve been in two of them.

You have six fingers on your car… someone is looking for you.

Funny, I didn’t know cars had fingers.

As a valet, I drove a 2002 Mercedes SL 500. Only $95K with options; tax would put it over the 6 digit mark though. Kept asking myself “Would they really catch me?” Decided it wasn’t worth the risk.

When I was six or eight, one of my parents friends was rather well of financially and bought a Porsche 911 Turbo, which I got a ride home in. I don’t know what year it was, but new ones are $120k, so factor in inflation and it might have been in the six figure range. Of course, I was too young to know how cool of a car it was. I remember the backseat was not exactly spacious, and not much else.

Can I count my 30 seconds in the driver’s compartment of an M-1A1 main battle tank?

Every day! I mean, you didn’t specify six figures in US dollars, did you?:wink:

Ducks and Runs

The beau is a mechanic. Having grown up in a silver-spoon environment, he is, au naturellement, a mechanic to the wealthy. I answer on his behalf, all the time. :smiley:

On my own behalf, not so much. But he did take me to Whistler in a fancier SUV than I have ever been in before (not saying much). And his dad owns a Jag, which I got a ride in. :shrug:

I was supposed to have been chauffreured to the prom in a vintage RR Silver Cloud, which must qualify, but the darn thing broke down the day before prom, and I had to drive myself in dad’s little Honda Civic. :rolleyes:

I sat in a Formula 1 car once (I don’t know what they cost but I’m sure it’s a lot). Didn’t get to turn it on, but it was still pretty cool – hella close to the road, as you might imagine.

I drove a loaded Hummer (real deal, not the H2) to church one time. It was my coworker’s mom’s boyfriend. He was Catholic and a neurophysiologist. I’m a heathen and a user support specialist.

Just tonight I was at the controls of a vehicle that cost 8 digits…oh, wait you said car, not vehicle.

<Looks outside at GMC truck that brought me home from airport>

Not even close.

How much is an Acura NSX? That’s probably the swankiest ride I’ve been in.

Related story: many moons ago, our scout troop was having a car wash fundraiser. A guy brought his Rolls-Royce to us for a wash. No, we didn’t scratch or ruin anything. And he tipped nicely, too. But he had to have been nervous as hell, or crazy.

What truck does GMC assemble that costs at least 10 million dollars?!?!:eek: I can’t even imagine a nuclear powered 18-wheeler would cost that much

Sorry, Slick the 8 digit vehicle was the airplane I was flying. The truck brought me home from the airport.

The 8 digit vehicle in question.

Hmm, Nuclear-powered eighteen wheeler…sounds like something that could beat out that SUV the Jones’s next door bought :wink:

The odometer on my 1987 Honda reads 187236.

I’ve been on this vehicle while it was running, and it’s owner was at a fundraiser. I must say, it was arguably the coolest freaking vehicle i’ve ever seen.

Granted, I never took it for a ride or anything, but still…

I was tooling around a few weeks ago in a 2004 BMW 760 IL (somewhere around $125,000 optioned reasonably). Can’t say that I felt it was worth the money.
