Priorities, now that's a real "car guy".

In Michigan I've noticed beautiful mint Muscle Cars parked in Trailer-Parks for years.

I've attributed this to "priorities", they made their choice on how they want to spend their money.

Something like the below:

There are people that are "House Poor", they too made a choice to have a big fancy house above their means.

Some people have doctorate degrees and are broke, they went for education..........

Choices, just choices.

As for the actual Bugatti photo, I'm guessing it's staged or just visiting. However it can be any of the above as well.

I know a widow that owns many millions in real estate around the local city and she moved into a trailer park that she just bought.

When I worked construction we did some work 'behind the gates' for million/billionaires.
Many of them had plain Jane cars in the driveway/garage.

As said "priorities", yes we are car guys and if we had billions we would have some very nice cars in the garage but some people just don't give a flip about what they drive.
