lol and the fact that he drives a focus doesn't mean anything when you see his house, private jets, and many other expenditures. It's not like he chooses to live a life with basic materials; it's just that he shows no interest in driving fancy cars. Same with Warren.

doesnt Gates have a classic Porsche that he had to make a computer simulation to show it in a crash to get it imported or something like that?

who knows what else he drives? who cares? if you got money spend it, give it away no point in hoarding it

It's so easy to hit 80-90 km/h driving along Marine Drive. Cops are always at Victoria Drive waiting for the suckers to speed to Knight Street Bridge.

Porsche 959. He imported the car in 1987 but US customs held the car for 13 years at the port of seattle until the DOT and EPA changed some regulations.

And on topic, if that white GTR was my car and I saw it being towed like that, I would be going postal on that tow truck driver.

can speedguns show license plate over 50 meters away? If not, ill just book it with that 480 horses.

You're safe from the "speed gun" but not from the eyes of the cop holding
it. Running from the cops is a good idea if you want some sense beat into you.

Maybe that classic honger move is what got the GTR towed.

Good grief.

FWIW, every time I've had an awd/4x4 towed by just the front end, the truck driver unhooked the driveshaft so it wouldn't wreck anything.

Not saying that's what happened to the GTR, but don't automatically assume the driver is an idiot...

ya well i was using him as an example, any millionare/billionare/celebraty how about that?


He may drives a focus, but he also owns many other cars. Lexus etc

Owner probably thinks its FWD too

racerman88 11-08-2010 05:54 PM

If the owner knows his own car, he should have told the tow truck driver to use dollies.

It was impounded until he was able to bring it in under Show & Display.

Did you know that you can buy your kids nice cars WHILE teaching them the value of money and how to work hard? Yeah, it's really not that difficult.

I don't know if some of you guys are simply misinformed or if you guys are just really that jealous. It's really quite sad.

There are quick disconnects for driveshafts in AWD cars?

Anyone catch the towing company? Those pics are proof that they probably ruined that drivetrain. New transmission and diffs on GTRs aren't cheap...like it matters to the owner. I just hate when incompetent tow drivers/companies wreck AWD vehicles when towing them.

spoonek4 11-08-2010 07:57 PM

Wonder if that white GT-R's got black HKS sticker in front of the rear wheels on the rear 1/4 panel?

46_valentinor 11-08-2010 08:47 PM

^no there were no hks stickers and the towing company is busters. haha they really lived up to their name, they really busted the drivetrain. lol!

I think he's only had the car about 2 or 3 weeks...

i know him.. LOL initials TL?
where'd he get impounded anyways?

asian_XL 11-09-2010 04:21 AM

All of the rich friends I know either got a large sum of cash from their parents (like 3, 4 millions) to start their own life or inherit their parents multiple millions business. Sorry to disappoint u guys, even they blow a lot of money, but they are still making way more money than the smarties out there.

U guys are just jealous.

Mugen EvOlutioN 11-09-2010 09:07 AM

jpark 11-09-2010 09:32 AM
