Jeez !!! At least buy a car that has air bags and modern safety equipment

 

Hahaha... well, his car is a POS much like the stuff sold at his stores.

 

wonder how long his commute is lol

 

you know people post this to prove that we shouldnt be so money oriented but lets face it - this is even worse.
if you have money, spend it. If you have 28 billion then freaking spend part of it, give it away, give your employees bigger paychecks, have better build products.

this is like laughing at us - "haha, you buy my cheap crap for a lot of money and I made billions".

 

 

Reminds me of the late Enzo Ferrari. He used to buzz around in a small Fiat 128 as his daily-driver. (Fiat, BTW, used to play that up in their ads, years ago.)

 

Ashley lutz, the writer of the article (of all the cars) needs to do some homework.

The pricing on many of the cars is way off. Prius' start at $11K? Fusion Hybrid costs $19K? Lexus LX, $40K??



I would think it common knowledge that the Prius doesn't have the lowest MSRP on the market.

 

i saw that article on Yahoo, just shows some people are humble!

It makes me wonder though, if I was rich would I keep my GS and mod the hell outta it or get something nicer

 

why people think rich people would automatically drive expensive cars?

 

Not necessarily but if you had $28,000,000,000.00, would you suffer in one of these?.....





Most American's that live below the poverty line drive nicer cars.

 

x2.

To some people, cars are for you to get from point A to point B. If was rich, I sure as hell wouldn't be spending money on things I have no care for (art, jewelry, etc). I would however, spend on things I do like (cars, food, vacations).

Apparently, the IKEA guy just doesn't care for what he drives.

 

But wouldn't you at least want a reliable, safe, and comfortable mode of transportation even if you're not into cars? Instead of one that could break down at any moment, likely has some non-working features, and is probably unpleasant to drive.

I'd have nothing to say if a billionaire drove a current Camry, but a 20 year old wagon? C'mon.

 

There are a lot of non car people out there. Not surprising.

 

At least he keeps it swedish.

But keep in mind that he didn't accumulate all that wealth when he was young and had the opportunity to spend it. Even at a young age, I can't see anyone spending that hard earned money and not thinking of the bad days when he will need that money to save his business.
