Why did he even get the Lotus to begine with?? What the hell was he thinking?? I for one would sell the Diablo, and get a FORD GT.

Maybe some dumb automotive moves, but his business story is quite interesting: http://www.slantback.com/aboutben.shtml

Also I used to have all this guys hummer videos way back when. Anybody willing to use their hummer gets my respect.

It annoys me to see people with seemingly bottomless wallets like him waste money and make un-educated or ignorant decisions all because they can. Why can't i be rich?

He prefers orange over yellow and apparently is going to change the wheels.

He should seriously be shot for selling such an amazing elise for no reason... he even says on that website that he was waiting like 6 months for it after it was ordered, and made references to a 2 year long countdown to him getting it..... why wait so long for such a great car only to turn around and sell it? :roll:

Maybe he didn't really know how driving one would be.

I am sure that the Elise has to be an incredibly original driving experience of its own.

I have seen pictures of his cars before. The orange Lamborghini used to belong to Busta Rhymes

what is the point of buying two of the same car? If i could afford two lambo's i would buy one and use the other money for a ferrari or something else to add a little variety in my choices

i think is one of those guys who thinks he knows lots about cars and just buys them for status... he might be selling the car for money, and he owns the lambo cause hes a poser...

could be some carnut said that Lotus are great cars and so and he got excited, bought and then found out that its not what he thought it is... not much attention from normal people cause they have no idea what Lotus is but HUMWEE and Lambo - everyone know that those are "cooooool"

I bet he is selling the Lotus because the acceleration wasn't comparable to that of a Diablo. Of course, the Elise would destroy the Diablo on a tight track. But then again he seems to be an attention whore.
