Why Buy A Bugatti Centodieci When You Can Have This F-16 Fighter Jet For Less?
Why Buy A Bugatti Centodieci When You Can Have This F-16 Fighter Jet For Less?-September 2024

Well not this F-16 exactly, but supposedly one similar

The $8,878,800 (plus tax!) list price of the really makes you think. The fact that there’s a market for such a preposterous toy is a pretty clear indicator that some people are too rich. Then again–why would you park among peasants in one of these when I could hook you up with an F-16 jet for less?

But actually–I was trawling Facebook thinking about Bugattis mere moments ago when I saw jet for sale in Palm Beach, Florida with an asking price of $8,500,000. (Call Russ if you want it, but I bet he knows what he’s got.)

“One is from the future and looks like it’s from the ’80s,” my colleague Raphael Orlove observed. And “the other is from the ’80s and looks like the future.” Indeed, the Centodieci is an homage to the Bugatti EB110, borrowing some of its design elements and ostensibly supposed to be just as epic.

The airplane ad is hilariously vague, but I guess you’d have to know what you’re looking at to be in the market for a fighter jet anyway. As to whether or not it’s a good deal, well, the U.S. government is from the Bulgarian government for eight F-16s, so $208,750,000 apiece. Yeah, I’m going to go ahead and guess that that one in Flordia needs a little more than an A/C recharge.

Be that as it may, it’d still be a more baller accessory sitting in your garage than a nearly-nine million dollar Bugatti. As long as you have a really big garage. Or, like, a theme restaurant to park it in.

but it’s not as user-friendly.

Hat tip to Leo!

In Get Smart, secret agent Maxwell Smart fought KAOS and had the hots for his fellow agent, the luscious 99. Today's Saab 99 is also lust-worthy, but has its price missed it, by that much? Saab isn't doing so well these days, having been back-watered by GM for years, and...

The prospect of spending you next vacation skinny dipping with Christie Brinkley may make you want to be Clark Griswold. And while you can't have his Wagon Queen Family Truckster, today's Country Squire may the next best thing, but is its price a trip not worth taking? Having a car...

The Turing Test is a natural language test to determine how human-like an artificial intelligence may be. Similarly, today's BMW E30 Touring will test your ability to determine whether its price is too high or not. We've been up to our wattles in wagons - and Nice Price wins -...

The Nissan Silvia was not named after poet Sylvia Plath, and owning one shouldn't be as tortured an experience as was her short life. The U.S. version of the Silvia — the 200SX, as represented by today's custom convertible, may be ode-worthy, but is this one's price too much to...

Upon its introduction, some called AMC's uniquely styled Pacer the Flying Fishbowl. Today's wagon edition is a bigger bowl, but is there something fishy about its price? The E30 Touring was the most commodious of all the small BMWs of that era, although apparently not sufficiently so as yesterday's rare...
