Let's face there are a lot of people that enjoy to "waste" money - Like people with high paying jobs...

What is, or isn't, a "waste" is subjective. To each their own.

You have to remember, some people have money to waste. If I did, I would buy one.

I like it, but would not part with $50k for it.

Would love to see one in person...from the pictures just doesn't look like its worth double the price (or nearly that).

Looks better than the Gucci Fiat 500.

Anything more than $5 is too freaking much.

The Goodwood looks great, but seriously, they want us to pay ~$20,000 extra for an appearance package. I guess if all you plan on doing is collecting it, then maybe it would make more sense to go for this limited edition.

Well, the 1% seem to be spending cash on cars. I live in Houston and lately I see more exotic cars on the road. Not just the run-of-the-mill Jag here-and-there, but hardly a day goes by when I don't see a new Ferrari, Aston Martin, Masarati -- I even see Bentley's driving around getting groceries. I'm seeing people commute in these things. I had a red (yeah, red -- I know) Bentley convertible blow past me on the toll road going to work last month. It's getting a little silly when you see a Lamborghini sitting in traffic at 7:30.

So, yeah, the Goodwoods will probably sell.

BTW: Speeding enforcement on the freeways around here is almost nonexistent. It's not like the autobahn, but we drive 80 around here just to keep up with traffic.

I would venture to guess a fair number of people have spent $20k personalizing their MINIs... People spend $2,000 to have new bumpers on their cars. It's all subjective.
