thumbs_up.gif For Chris Pirillo, although l have no idea who he is nor why he chose the TSX because of its technological features. There are much geeky-er cars, but it's still a TSX.

California allows him to drive without a license plate because he's had so many stolen (he instead has a small bar code where the plate should be).

Steve Jobs' car FTW. MB SL65 (55?) AMG. I'd take that over anything else there by a longshot.

WTF stupid writer. The 1999 911 Cabriolet is not a rare car, the Boxster is still being sold new and I only hope the reference to the Lincoln Continental as "sporty" is a joke.

Yes, l realized shortly after that the writer of the article didn't know much about cars or technology.

Damn the freedom of the press. There should be a minimum IQ to write.

And it should be at least 100. This guy would not pass. I found it funny the dumbed-down way he described how the Prius works.

Bill Gates has a Porsche 959

/edit

I just read the article. God damn Steve Ballmer sucks so bad.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the SL55 is the AMG supercharged V8. And the SL65 has the 'run-of-mill' MB V12.

Yeah, I was wondering who in their right mind would call a bloody Continental sporty?

Correction not necessary. I'm just a Mercedes fanboy and I find the SL65's 604 HP V12 to be the reason the SL65 is my favorite (other than the CLK63 Black Series).
clarkma5
The SL65 takes the SL600's "run of the mill" V12 and increases the displacement from 5.5 to 6.0 liters and does all sorts of performance tweaks to it. It's a justified AMG motor.

who the fuck is chris pirillo

Lmao, wtf?



That's about as "sporty" as my roommate's police car.

Your roommate has a police car? That's pretty freaking cool.

Good to hear that Gates has some taste. Though I don't understand how he has so few exciting cars...

Gates seems to be a modest man (relative to his wealth).

Sorry, but I fail to see your point.

I thought the bit about Job's is interesting. I wouldn't expect him to be the owner of a psycho powerful MB.
mung35
I'm sorry he doesn't live in normal suburbia like you and I but we all know with his wealth, his house barely scratches the surface of what he could do.

Why would you build so much of your house underground? You're not building a nuclear bunker or some top secret military base. I can understand having the car park underground, but why would you put, say, a reception hall underground?
