This is the exact email as sent to me
I was eating lunch at an outdoor restaurant today when something drove past that distracted me. Keep in mind that when you're in Kirkland, WA you're liable to see any manner of fancy vehicle driving around. Go to: http://parkplaceltd.com/webinv...=3440 The images on the website show a dealer-plate on the vehicle, but it had a private registration when I saw it today. Even for a guy who's certifiably car-crazy like myself this was something special to see.
Bentley photos from a friend in WA state.
ahhh I saw one in Miami about 2 weeks ago go by the opposite direction and could not figure out what the heck it was....damn that is so sweet
BTW...I posted the pic of the Porsche speedster on a porsche forum and a guy replied back that he just paid $550K for one of those things....that is purely insane monies for such a car

They hust had a show either on "Rides" or the "SPEED" channel about it.The Continental Gt, it's supposed to be Bentley's "affordable" car...LOL. It is ONLY $150.000 as opposed to 350 for the sedans to order.As far as the rims. I think they said 19" with 16" rotors.Also Jennifer Lopez just bought one. rsiwicki... maybe you saw her. I'd rather see her WALK than drive.

I've had dinner with J Lo (her previous hubby and bodyguard) two tables away. Believe me, she was just not attractive at all (for me, anyway).
Anyway, what concerns me about the Bentley is the twin VR6 (known as the W12) engine, not a great feat of engineering to begin with. Secondly, it is entirely in front of the front axle, so the car would be a real pig without awd. The polar moment of inertia must be terrible anyway. And lastly, the damn thing weighs over 5300 lbs. The fuel efficiency is not good, but then, the buyers don't care. On a trip, you will be stopping to fill the tank frequently even at legal speeds because it is not that large.
Park Place Motors is in Bellevue across from the BMW dealer. Definitely the motor car vendor for the Softie millionaires who have more money than time. I bet the rubber bands ( are they really tires?) on the rims are way under the required load rating.

Ahh JayLo.....I live less than 300 yards from her estate as my condo over looks her house from across the waterway. Funny thing is that it took me 4 months to realize that the nice house right across the water way from me was JayLo's....I just thought that it was just another Joe Millionare house. I found out it was her house because there were these damn helicopters sitting over her house all day long the day she was suppose to marry Ben and all we could hear at the pool was the damn chop chop noise of the blades while laying out at the pool. After I found out that it was her house I have to admit I picked up jogging really quick and jogged my desparate gringo a$$ a couple of times past her place in hopes to catch her attention one day...unfortunately my plan did not workout. Here is a pic of her place...it is hard to see though, but it is the place to the right across the waterway.
thats okay maxnix....I will take JayLo all for my greedy selfish self 
BTW....her previous hubby...Chris Jud graduated from my highschool in 1988 and it hit the news big time in my town when the two got married. Chris looks nothing like his parents (much bigger/taller) as his mom is a little phillipino woman and his dad is a small ex-military(airforce) guy that own and run an egg roll restaurant.

Yeah he paid. J Lo ate the shrimp plate, well, most of it. I thought the body guard was some gang banger from the hood (way out of place in this restaurant) until my wife told me who the lady was.
Like I say, without the stage makeup, very average looking. I wouldn't look twice even if she was unclothed. Definitely not a lady that I would describe as pretty. Just me.

I would die for some scattered smothered covered diced chopped hashbrowns right now.......believe it or not. The nearest WaffleHouse is about 45 miles North of Miami.......Miami has no damn WaffleHouses!!!!!
