Speed, Style, and Beauty; The Cars of Ralph Lauren

[ScionDriver]

So I am on vacation, a road trip with my family and we are in Boston right now and today we went to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and saw the Ralph Lauren collection. Freaking amazing. Being in the same room as these rare cars that can easily equal more than $100 million dollars. I snapped some pictures and figured you guys would appreciate them.

"From March 06 through to July 03, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts will display Ralph Lauren's classic cars under the title 'Speed, Style, and Beauty: Cars from the Ralph Lauren Collection.'"

Then he'll get back to hooning about in them.

He already crashed his newly aquired F1 LM, and I suppose you'd then argue that he shouldn't be allowed to drive such cars...

I'd rather see him going out and pushing the cars to a point where he loses control than let them sit in a garage for 50 years

Actually my dad read that Ralph Lauren has only driven each car (minus the McLaren and one of the Porsches or Ferrari's) once. He thinks of them as art, they just sit and he only drives the Mac and one of the other ones now and again. What a waste of space

The biggest problem with driving the others is the potential damage that might be done to it. Natural driving wear/damage will be inevitable no matter how carefully you drive it. E.g. the car in front of you may lob a small stone and you'll end up with a nasty crack in the windscreen or worse, a chip in the paintwork, which was probably immaculate to begin with. There must be millions of other scenarios where damage might occur, but I agree with you, it is really sad that he doesn't drive them. However, if he does drive them, the cars never be properly preserved and the generations after him may also be able to see them in the same pristine condition that they are in now.

Oh for gods sake, who is gunna give a continetal shit about a replaced windscreen, or a speck in the paint job. I sure wouldn't.
