    Another good one Tenn, when my son grows up and gets married I must invite you to do the video.

    The last time I was in Bangkok and it was that quiet there was a curfew on - very surreal!

    Spend the winters here in Bkk.
    Went to the Bangkok International Motor Show with my girlfriend.
    Many interesting cars to see.

    Had a 2011 Porsche GT3 RS at the show.
    Asked what it cost.....
    Wait for it.....
    Nearly 23 million baht.
    In American dollars that's in the vacinity of $750,000.
    For the price of one of these in Thailand, you can have 5 in America.
    Thailand's import duty and various taxes put a heavy burden on vehicles not actually built or assembled in Thailand.
    So when you see a big Porsche, Lambo, Ferrari, etc prowling the streets, you just know someone has really dropped a lot of cash on one.

    the price of new car here is sure crazy. but i think the real going price of 2011 GT3RS from dealer is more like 18-20mil with grey import some where between 15-17mil but you dont get the 9years warranty!
