Last time I saw that much wood and leather was in the Oak Room at the Plaza.   Just had a funny thought: Wouldn't it be a downer if you had to drive your Maybach 62 on the chauffeur's day off, and everybody who saw you would think that you were just the chauffeur? Of course, that should never happen because you would have your fleet of cars to choose from on the chauffeur's day off, from your Ferrari to your 760.   Which raises the question: What other cars does the typical Maybach 62 owner own? Assume a husband, wife, and two teenage kids - one boy and one girl. What's in the garage? I'll start:   Husband: BMW 760Li, Bentley Conti GT, Ferrari Superamerica Wife: MB S600, MB E500 wagon (for shopping) or maybe a Lincoln Navigator? Son: BMW X5 Daughter: MB CLK500 (maybe BMW Z4?)

Replying to: garyh1 (Dec 22, 2005 7:53 am) Well when someone can afford a 360K car there is no telling what else they have in their garage(s).   The only Maybach I even remotely would want is the 57S.   M

Not a luxury car, but definitely European and definitely High-End.   Pagani Zonda F   A pity this thing isn't sold here, yet.   M Replies to this message: anthonyp (Dec 27, 2005 1:19 pm)

Replying to: garyh1 (Dec 22, 2005 7:53 am) I think you've nailed it. But a guy interested in cars enough to have a Maybach would probably have some older stuff too. Like maybe a Mini, an old Jag E type or even an 190SL. A couple with the ability to drive a Mayback would also have several country homes with garages there to fill. So, what would they have at their ski home out West? An LR (of course) but also a pickup for just hacking around? What would the garage attached to their Nantucket house hold? Maybe a Defender 90 or a Jeep Grand Wagoneer, circa 1987?

#421 of 447 Got my wheels on today. by paldi Jan 06, 2006 (12:15 pm)
Waiting for propper VW logo wheel caps. Everything fits!             This is how it looked before - with 18" wheels and smaller tires.   As they say, wheels often make the car. Replies to this message: pat (Jan 06, 2006 12:18 pm)
