I was thinking the same thing...
It's pretty obvious he just came into the $$ to buy that stuff. Regardless of whatever he says. Newly paved driveway, all new cars within last 2 years.
And anyone who knows how to take care of a car, you DON'T set the keys on the paint.
I'm going to guess he'll squander his $$ on stupid toys like he has shown and end up with nothing in the end. Pretty common when people come into large sums of $$.

Just because people like new stuff doesn't mean they just came into money.

That's new $$ attitude, not old $$. Thinking like a rap star or a football player. Not like someone who worked for the $2m for those vehicles.
I'd bet on it.
I'm not saying I couldn't be wrong, but with what I've seen so far I just can't believe anything else...
And it doesn't take anything away from the drool I get looking at his cars! I love almost all of them! hehe. I just think the picture is a bit different than he paints it to be. Shit, I'd probably do the same thing if I had a bunch of $$, no matter how I came into it. Reality is when it really comes down to it, it's no one business but his.

I'm glad you ended it with that...His money is the same color as everyone else's, who gives a shit how he got it or how long he's gonna have it, He's got it now and clearly, he's enjoying it, so kudos to him.
WHEN I make my millions and I buy my Black/Black F430 spider, will I be labeled as "new money" as well, or just an enthusiast? If the colors in his collection were a little less garish and his asphalt a little more weathered, does that make him a better aficionado?

It just seems as if he went into the Lamborghini/Ferrari/Porsche/Ford dealerships and said "I want this this and oh yeah one of these". All the cars are the "latest" models from their respective car companies. Usually people who didn't just recently come into money have more, introspective tastes, and don't just walk onto the showroom and buy the first thing they see. That, and his choice of colors for the majority of his cars plus the vanity plates scream "LOOK AT ME, I'M RICH! WHOOOO!". Usually people who are wealthy, or were born into wealth have fancy cars, but in more discreet colors (again, this is simply my observations).
Also, if he was good with money, he would know not to spend $2M on cars in a period of a year

as if a ford gt, gallardo, murcielago, carrera gt, f430 and a maranello wasn't enough, he needed something more reasonable so he got a 997...

Someone was saying .7 of a second. It's actually more like 1 second, and that's huge difference at those times. It takes a LOT more power to even drop a .25 of a second once you get below a 12 second run.
I'm going by what I have seen people run across the US not by what some magazine says. Some guys have squeezed some good times out of the GT.
p.s.
The GT would hammer past the M5 on the highway.
And Mr. Wizzard (Water-S) the Ford GT weighs LESS and has MORE power. The rules of physics still apply on earth.

I used to like the Florida Panther plates on my old Maxima. Texas isn't bad. What do Ohio plates say anyway?

MOST GT's have been running low 11's, so a full second

I'm not hating because I would take any one of those cars, but add some diversity to your car collection. After the 3rd super car doesn't it get redundent. Let's see which car will I drive fast today? Why not buy some sort of saloon or SUV to the line up
