That, my friend, is a Maybach. The one pictured is a 57, though the one I want is a 62. It's an ultra-luxury saloon car, usually chauffeur driven, made by the company that runs Mercedes.

Here's the interior:

I know what a Maybach is. I just haven't seen many of them. My next question would be, are you hiring? :)

Well, I'm also curious about maintenance cost on that car.

I don't actually have one, its my future car really, and I do have every intention of buying one eventually.

The maintenance cost, from what I know (this is one of my main obsessions), is high in terms of parts, but the cars themselves are very reliable and rarely go wrong. So, it's usually fine, but when something goes wrong you'll be paying out lots.

Though, this is a ~£300,000 car, people who have that money to spend on such a car shouldn't have much of a problem running it :P

i have been released from n00bie purgatory - here's an approximation of my car, with its clamshell hood opened. This is an 84, mine's an 85 - pretty much the same except that mine's black with a white pinstripe, and has steel wheels with the stainless-steel dog-dish hubcaps instead of alloys.

See:

I don't have a car, but my family's car is a silver PT cruiser, last time I checked, with some duct tape holding the mirror to the car since it fell off when a tree branch hit it. Stupid tree branch took out the car's mirror and the telephone wire. We then proceeded to take out the tree.

Bentleys are very nice, too. I like the Continental GT and the Azure. I plan to buy one of these to drive in Monaco:

This is my Toyota IQ. Economical, efficient, quiet. In fact a very clever car, as the name suggests ...

That is a gorgeous colour you repainted it with.

Thanks, I do worry that I picked a too staid colour, it looks better when you catch the light from the side and the metallic lights up, otherwise it looks like the dirty sea.
