Cars like that are about the worst investment a rich person could make. The depreciation is so signifcant matched with its near useless capabilities(you're not going 150mph in these things ANYWHERE, unless ofcourse you're Arthur Abraham) that you'd probably get more of a thrill by setting $150,000+ on fire. Giving out 50 Rolex's to his posse would have been more rewarding.

As soon as you drive it off the lot, the value plummets. But whatever, it's his money and he can do whatever he wants. Badass car too.

See he doesn't need the image boost. lol the guy is already known everywhere, and this car is not going to get him more vag. The car simply doesnt fit his lifestyle. Manny Pacquiao is inspirational. He's definitely not cool by any means IMO.

I will be honest I was impressed with how entertaining Manny was on 24/7, with the whole banter in sparring and giving a hug to a bloodied Linares, getting blood on his shirt and saying it's okay. Now this car...I am not a fan of Manny the boxer, but Manny the person is showing more of a personality now compared to the one of a few years ago. I like that.

The 458 Italia is a masterpiece both aesthetically and mechanically. Forget about the image boost associated with the car, the sensation of driving it is probably worth 250 grand.Last edited by NSX-R; 10-23-2011, 01:19 AM.
