Must be nice!

[OnMyWay]

This morning while performing my school chauffeur duties, a neighbor or visitor pulled out in front of me in an Aston Martin.  I think it is a Vanquish S.

Was about to say the same thing....  My dream car is a little bit more accessible, a Porsche 911, it has been since my teens, but I would never consider owning one here even if I had the means.

It won't be so nice when the time comes to find and pay for parts to repair this car.

The license plate letters NFT is an acronym for "Not For Traffic"?

What are the chances that car was one of those caught up in the “investigation” recently?

They have a dealership in Manila.

People who can afford that car in the Philippines have money to burn.  I think I know the house that car probably came from.  They spent millions on a renovation a few years ago.  Even brought in giant boulders for landscaping.

You would be surprised.  We get many car and motorcycle enthusiasts in Subic Freeport because it is a nice drive from Manila on good roads, for the most part.  Skyway in Manila to NLEX to SCTEX.  You can drive 200+ kph on SCTEX if you don't mind the risk of radar.  If you are rich, I'm sure they will accept a big tip.

At our new house, a neighbor a few blocks away has a baby blue Ferrari.  Maybe he will let me drive it!

When I see one of those types of cars I'll wonder aloud who owns it. My wife always says it is probably someone associated with the government.
