So more expensive that a jet to maintain in a year...not by a long shot.

There are a lot of insurance groups that specialize in supercars, yachts, jets... Christies for starters.

They know most collectors aren't going to drive the hell out of their cars. So sitting in a climate controlled garage isn't that dangerous.

I know of at least 15 people that have car collections of 80 cars or more.
I've never heard any complaints from them....

You friend - the Bugatti owner - will still have to service his car after Bugatti's service intervals if he want's the factory warning to remain and even if he drives 2 miles in it. He will still have to insure the car for a lot of money - no matter what. The engine will also be damaged if you just leave it and so will different parts of the car. The battery will always be dead and so on...

And you're right, you can insure everything - just a matter of money.

And you're 15+ friends with 80+ cars are probably billionaires with hired assistance to maintain the cars. They have so much money that they don't care and if their cars break, they have staff to take care of it. And money is their least concern - even the annual price of 300.000 USD to keep a Veyron.

...

There are frightening bills, horrific bills, and Bugatti Veyron bills. The legendarily expensive to buy, it seems that the Veyron is equally expensive to keep running, with some pegging yearly running costs at $300,000. It's so expensive, in fact, that Autocar says there's an owner who trailers his car to a particular driving route, then follows behind in a private jet.

Let's just take the tires, for example: in the U.S., the Michelin Pilot Sport 2s fashioned with the Veyron's unique compound cost about $30,000; in the UK they're £23,500 ($38,216 U.S.). Bugatti recommends you change them every 4,000 kilometers, or 2,500 miles, and at every ten thousand miles the company recommends changing the wheels and tires, which runs north of $50,000.

In between those wheel changes will be things like routine maintenance, with a major annual service setting you back about $20,000. None of this is particularly unexpected so long as you remember the Veyron is more a roadgoing Space Shuttle than a car. And we won't even begin to talk about how expensive pelican insurance has become...

Okay well one, This Thread is just a DREAM thread, in other words that means we never have to get "Real" Its just for fun and there is no need in just trying to break someone's, even if very impossible dream. Also If I were to be the one collecting these cars I would only actually drive a very select few.
EX: RS6
Enzo
Rossion Q1
560-4
The rest would just be for show, and rarely Leave the Garage. All these cars together them-selfs would cost Millions just to start out with, taking out the cost of insurance or Tune up's, So If I have the money to have 4 Garages, and fill them with millions of dollars of cars, then I would have the money to do what ever the F*ck I want with them. I would have to have multi Billionaire money to be doing any of this collections so There is no need in patronizing some one's dream because they wont be able to "Afford" Insurance.

The Veyron is meant to be in the shop every 2500 miles. Even though I see people go for 10000 with no difference, the same goes for F430's or Gallardo's They are meant to be in the shop at around 8000 Miles, yet I have friends that have gotten 16000 miles out of it before they went in to get a tune up, which they still did not need. 16000 is a lot more then just 8000 (Twice as much) This is just a way for the car manufactures to make more money.

Please stop with your argument because it isn't getting you anywhere and is only making you look really ignorant and like A LAass
