Yes, I Do. Love Supercars
Did I say that China is trying to clamp down on displays of conspicuous consumption? A young couple in the city of Zhengzhou in Zhejiang Province did not get the memo. At their wedding, guests arrived in Rolls Royce Phantoms, Rolls Royce Ghosts, Rolls Royce Silver Saraphs, Bentley Continentals, Bentley Arnages, Lamborghini Gallardos, Ferrari 458s and some lesser models. Tip of the hat to Tycho at CarNewsChina.

I love super cars and super models too. I would want one or two for a weekend ride, but can't afford to buy (or marry) one, however.
Bourgeoisie decadence. You are making Mao sad.
All those Gallardos are real new too. Impressive!
