Dreams
I remember as a kid when I was about 12 years of age, I was browsing YouTube and observing the lifestyle of the filthy rich. They had a chauffeur, as well as concierge. They literally used people to help their lifestyle. I honestly don't or really did not care for that. As a kid, I was not too fond of cars, either. Of course, I would turn my head to see a rolls royce, but I would not frantically pull out my iPhone for a photo.That being said, elusive dreams of these (what is now reality) events was never something I would have a goal of.
After hitting my numbers, in 2015, I was set out to live life. Live life to the fullest before I get dragged into the adult world with responsibilities and all that bullshit.
I wanted to experience the luxury of a high end car. I looked at Rolls Royce, Lamborghinis, and Tesla.
In the midst of this, perhaps out of pure coincidence, my business partner flew in from LA to eat at Toque in Montreal. Yes, he flew in to eat dinner. He had his own Bentley with a private chauffeur and I set up a business meeting with him. As per usual, we discussed potential markets needing penetration to exploit capital. He said he had the Bentley rented for the weekend, and was flying out next morning, so instead of giving it back to the dealership, he'd let me have it for the day.
Don't mind if I do. I just cruised around, and made my chauffeur go around downtown for the night. I picked up my (now,) girlfriend, and we went to a restaurant.
A homeless man saw me in the back and asked me at a red light what do my parents do. What the fuck? I told them I work at a party store. A retail place I earn minimum wage at.
We drove off.
Thoughts
In terms of luxury, fuck yes. Its comfortable, and I would take one over a Toyota any day (of course) but I wouldn't say its worth the price. For what it asks for, in the end, its just a car. If you have money to blow, sure. If you have to save up for it, get something much more reasonable, like a Tesla for instance.
Honestly, you get a luxury car to show the fuck off. I got money, look at me. I'm better than you at life, look at me. In the end, personally, I rather a Tesla over a Rolls Royce in terms of the experience. Again, i'm not much of a car person. I respect automobiles that value experience of the user rather than image of the user. With Tesla, you have the smoothest driving experience on Earth, its quiet with solitude, and is the fasted accelerating car on Earth. Did I mention its environmentally friendly? If you're one of those who laugh at global warming, stop reading and get the fuck off this blog. I would give up all my money to preserve the nature of Earth rather than exploit it and destroy it.
