Recently, I was watching Top Gear on BBC America where they featured a car from Keonigsegg. Please click the link. The cars are awesome in the very expensive (cost of a house) and impractical way. I doubt that I could get the car in third gear giving the speed limit and traffic. That assumes that I could fit inside given my height.
I don’t even want to think about the cost of insurance, maintenance, and gas. I’m sure it takes premium and uses a gallon just to start it. Of course, if you can afford the car, you aren’t worrying about the cost of cost such things.
I wondered if I could tour the factory. I’d find it interesting to see how they assembled the cars. They don’t conduct tours unless you have a car on order.
Obviously, there isn’t a Keonigsegg in my future. My wife, who also loved the car, thought she’d surprise me with a t-shirt. She didn’t buy one but, instead, showed me the webpage. Again, click the link. It cost $105! For a t-shirt. Yes, I was surprised!
