The vehicles they manufacture for the decadent rich are always coming in or going out. If I were both decadent and rich I'd definitely get me one after I bought my new Mooney Airplane. It would be on the list just after the new ski boat, lake house, boat lift, dog training, stocking up with groceries. Guys I've been fast in AA Fuel Funny cars, AA Fuel Dragsters, A Fuel 90" wheelbase roadsters and you sure don't want to run over 100 miles an hour unless you're trained to drive fast. Its like the song goes about Mabelline and the rainwater blowing under the hood .......... those telephone poles start looking like a picket fence once you get past 120 mph. I shucked the fan / alternator belts from a Corvette at 135 mph and ate the radiator, dragged the power steering pump into the fan and all hell broke loose in my shorts. However if you're crazy enough to pay their price you're crazy enough to try to get that 168 mph out of her.
