Got to see the first US delivered Pagani Huayra today. Full carbon fiber body, 230mph car with a V12. It's truly a work of art. Guy said he had the only one in the US, he's almost right, another guy in Louisiana took delivery of a French Blue Huayra ten days after the first one. His name is Tom Perkins, you can Google him. In fact when I asked "What do you do?" his response was "My name is Tom Perkins, you can Google me."
His net worth is 8 Billion dollars, with a B...and his daily driver is his Gallardo (believe me, he wasn't buying anything on my lot - I tried ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
). He owns a Sailing Yacht named the Maltese Falcon....it's HUGE...
Anyway I know 80% skipped to the bottom for pics so here are a few ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

One of my favorite cars! Gorgeous.
The Maltese Falcon is incredible. We sailed next to it a few years ago on the Bay. It's massive! Perkins sold it at least a couple years ago though.

Dude seems like he's lived a great life, I'm sure he's on borrowed time if he's been living that type of lifestyle lol

Nice catch, that's why he was at AMPM on Madison Ave haha, he waited 6 hours with a police escort waiting to find a tow company that would tow the car to home in SF...

The batmobile is a production car lol. The cars ugly and the batmobile looks better lol. I'd rather have a McLaren P1 or a Lambo Aventador.

WOW Billionaire, flat tire in North Highlands, he's probably shitting his pants in the car. No wonder he had to call for a Police escort. What a waste of resources ferrying some rich douche out of the hood.
