the most super duper supercar wedding in china so far

Carnewschina finally found the reason why supercars are gobbled-up in China with ferocious appetite: Supercar weddings. Getting married and making children is all the rage in China (2 or more children is a special sign of affluence), and don’t you dare showing up by bicycle or taxi if you are invited. You won’t be invited again.

The latest (and it won’t be the last) supercar wedding took place in Huizhou in the very rich Guangdong province, where anything from Samsung flatscreens to Apple iPhones is assembled en masse.

Bride and groom made an appearance in a Bentley Continental Supersport. Guests arrived in four Ferrari 458, three Lamborghini Gallardo, two Porsche Panamera, a Nissan GTR, a Maserati GT MC Stradale, a Rolls Royce Ghost, a Ferrari California, and more. Some of these cars sport the dual China / Hong Kong plates, which are the true sign of affluence.

The Audi R8 was probably driven by the caterer.

And once again, the cure for communist world domination is....living like a Kardashian.

Now, if only 2 or more children, rather than automotive anatomical augmentation devices for blankshooters, would again come to be a status symbol in Japan and The West; maybe those places wouldn't be so dependent on the Chinese keeping their once great economies afloat.

Analoggrotto Does anyone seriously listen to this?
Thomas Same here....but keep in mind that EVs are already much more efficient than ICE vehicles. They need to catch up in all the other areas you mentioned.
Analoggrotto It's great to see TTAC kicking up the best for their #1 corporate sponsor. Keep up the good work guys.
John66ny Title about self driving cars, linked podcast about headlight restoration. Some relationship?
Jeff JMII--If I did not get my Maverick my next choice was a Santa Cruz. They are different but then they are both compact pickups the only real compact pickups on the market. I am glad to hear that the Santa Cruz will have knobs and buttons on it for 2025 it would be good if they offered a hybrid as well. When I looked at both trucks it was less about brand loyalty and more about price, size, and features. I have owned 2 gm made trucks in the past and liked both but gm does not make a true compact truck and neither does Ram, Toyota, or Nissan. The Maverick was the only Ford product that I wanted. If I wanted a larger truck I would have kept either my 99 S-10 extended cab with a 2.2 I-4 5 speed or my 08 Isuzu I-370 4 x 4 with the 3.7 I-5, tow package, heated leather seats, and other niceties and it road like a luxury vehicle. I believe the demand is there for other manufacturers to make compact pickups. The proposed hybrid Toyota Stout would be a great truck. Subaru has experience making small trucks and they could make a very competitive compact truck and Subaru has a great all wheel drive system. Chevy has a great compact pickup offered in South America called the Montana which gm could make in North America and offered in the US and Canada. Ram has a great little compact truck offered in South America as well. Compact trucks are a great vehicle for those who want an open bed for hauling but what a smaller more affordable efficient practical vehicle.
