I'm still giggling at a highly sarcastic and snarky article about how truly over-the-top a personalized Rolls-Royce luxury car can become. A tip o' the hat to the anonymous reader who sent me the link. Here's just one paragraph to whet your appetite.
Rolls-Royce says the BLACK BADGE GHOST GAMER was "delivered to a tech entrepreneur", which somehow surpasses the American dog mom buyer of the SPECTRE BAILEY for obviousness. It also explains why the new owner wasn't worried about what women would think of his new car, because meeting a girl will be a theoretical concern for his entire life. Rolls-Royce, I should note, does not specify that the commissioning buyer is a man, but I am dead certain a woman's hand did not touch this car at any point in its construction.
There's much more at the link. I won't steal the author's thunder by reproducing it here; and besides, you really need to see the pictures to appreciate the length to which some car owners will go. Fortunately, they can pay Rolls-Royce (a lot!) to take them there.
Go read the whole thing.

The Gamer car gave me a flashbacks to the "A Car is Not a Toy" PSA of the 70s and 80s.
There has always been and there will always be, people with more money than common sense....and taste.
Cars like that are Mother Nature's way of saying "Woah, you have too much money for your own good. These people have a means to help."
And Rolls Royce is saying "Yes, it is better to give than to recieve. But some one has to do the receiving, and it might as well be us."
Not a fan of the color but to each his own. Now I could get behind the Donald Trump car. Yummy. If I could just remember where I hid the extra greenback's.
