This past Sunday, with no one to see and nowhere to be, I decided to head to the Upper East Side in Manhattan to check out Barneys New York’s going-out-of-business sale. I’d never been to this department store before—it was far too expensive to be interesting—but now that it’s currently in its death throes, I thought what the hell!!!!!!!

Barneys, to me, was always one of those old-school Manhattan institutions. A high-fashion, high-price and high-class department store for girls like to flounce through when there was nothing better to do. As such, I never set foot inside it because I could never afford anything in there anyway. And, for the most part, I think terribly expensive clothes are superfluous and stupid.

This year, . Resulting are ongoing. They hilariously started as (I don’t know who needs to hear this, but five percent off a bag that costs $2,400 is not a sale!), but now the discounts extend to basically everything else and up to 60 percent off certain items.

And they can be very, very ugly items!

I went browsing for some laughs, and I did find something to laugh about.

The photo is blurry because I was laughing so hard. But you get the idea.

This heavily sequined jacket/shirt thing (maybe it’s a smock?) caught my eye from across the room. I went over for a closer look. It was a Valentino and it was very heavy—the design, no doubt, painstakingly assembled unnecessarily by hand. I checked the price tag and had to fight down a laugh.

It was $10,500. This ugly jacket costs more than my car!

I’m being unfair, of course. It was on sale! Thirty percent off, I think, which meant you’d only pay $7,350 for it. Additionally, there was the extra 20 percent off they’d take at the register for your entire purchase, so the final price would come out to something like $5,880. Now, that’s what I call a bargain.

But before Barneys start liquidating everything, it was hoping to sell that jacket at full price. Nearly $11,000 for a sequined piece of clothing nobody can quite place. The nerve!

Instead, I present to you some cars you could buy instead. Wear the car to the garden party. You’d look better in it than the Valentino, I promise.

Any one of these cars would be a better use of your money than that Valentino. Especially the Volvo. I hear it is very boring to drive but its looks have aged well. Unlike the jacket.

Old Range Rovers are relatively light due to being clothed in aluminum, but that’s not to say they couldn’t be lighter. In seeking that goal, today’s rock crawler has been denuded to its skivvies, but it also comes with a price that might mean the buyer might just be taking...

Today is Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, and in honor of that, our contender is about as Yankee Doodle Dandiest, all-American a car as you can get, American Motors that is. Its price, however, may live in infamy. Yesterday, real rocks rather than those found in a Crack Pipe ruled as...

Aston Martin recently unveiled their fiddy grand version of the tiny Toyota IQ, the Cygnet. That brand bastardization may be the most extreme, but as today's Tickford Capri demonstrates, it's hardly the first. This Capri's price however, may just tick you off. There used to be a chain of Supermarkets...

The era of grandiose American luxury coupes is long gone, and those who still jones for a big two-door boat from the past have to put up with their utter lack of modern amenities. That is unless they buy today's custom '71 Grand Prix, which has been modernized. Its price...

Whether you love it or hate it, there's no denying that the U.S. edition of Top Gear has one thing going for it and that's resident beard-wearer, Rutledge Wood. Now, it's rumored that today's ‘96 Roadmaster is the Rutster's, so it's got that going for it, but does its price...
