Let’s all be serious…buying a Maybach is about as wise a choice as investing in the coach and buggy. Although the Maybach is a luxury wonder and a performance stunner, economically it is possibly the worst investment on the market. It will cost you a cool $300k+ to pick up a new set of keys for a Maybach; however, once you drive it off the lot you can automatically deduct a whopping 20% from the purchase price. That is right, it will cost you more than $60k to be the first rear end to plant itself in the drivers seat of a new Maybach. That being said, why is it that wealthy parties are still wiling to part with their hard earned dollars for a depreciating asset? Simply put, the Maybach is a hybrid of a Rolls Royce, Lamborghini, and Space Ship. There is no other car on the market that will get you from A to B in such style or with such haste.

Is it just me or does the 300SL Roadster deserve more credit than it deserves? This topless beauty was outshadowed buy its garish big brother the 300SL "Gull Wing." Both cars are beautiful, but the 300SL is truly a Gentleman's Roadster- specifically the early models with side luvres! Does anybody else agree that the Roadster is more beautiful than the cherrished Gull Wing? Thoughts...
