Luxury itemsWant to know what spending over two million dollars on a car will net you?  Look to the pic on the right.  That lovely beauty is the Bugatti Veyron Super Sports, the most expensive street legal car on the market.

This sleek red and black monster can go from 0-60 in 2.5 seconds.  Under its hood sits two V8 engines; that’s right two V8 engines.   This engine configuration can generate 1200 horsepower; I honestly don’t know of any normal road out there that enable you to fully utilize all 1200 horses.  Its maximum speed is 268 MPH; again, what road – besides racing tracks – will allow you to reach this obscene speed?

The overall price might be mind-boggling but you should know the prices for some of the parts.  To replace all four wheels you will need to cough up $36,000.  If your transmission is a goner you’re going to pay $172,000 to replace it.  Ouch.

A car like this requires big money making and spending to drive but if money is no object to you, then go right on ahead and buy it.

rich people thingsFancy people consume a lot of champagne. I drink at least 3 bottles a day and I have been since I was 11 years old. I also wash my face and feet in champagne, or rather I have others wash them in champagne for me. But all that is about to change, I am firing my personal staff of 11 people, their children be damned, and I am getting rid of all my champagne. Why you ask? Lambrusco.

Lambrusco is a tasty red sparkling wine presumably from somewhere in Europe, the world capital of fancy rich people things. Technically Lambrusco has not arrived (it has been around for hundreds of years) but I am taking this opportunity to announce to all my fellow 1%ers that it is officially in vogue and the Champagne is dead.

Now it has recently come to my attention that some people reading this blog may be poor. Technically if you make less than $500,000 a year you have no business reading this blog but I am feeling generous so here is a small tid-bit. To experience Lambrusco goodness without the big money price mix vodka, alka seltzer, water and a few table spoons of jam. It is the closest you will come to experiencing the ambrosia known as Lambrusco.
