I like the veyron of course but I’m glad he’s selling it, just because he can’t do much with it, he can’t really mod it or change it in any way and he doesn’t want to rack up the miles. Now he can get other cars, do more with them and take care of other financial responsibilities

He's never really been much of a Porsche guy. To get one of those cars, he would have to get it from the second hand market which would involve paying way over sticker to get one. Trying to get one from a dealer at msrp would be almost impossible for him. He's got the new Lambo on order and will be one of the first to get that one though. That's what I'm looking forward to him taking delivery of.
