Given the demographics thread, I'll make a disclaimer: My wives parents are loaded. That doesn't imply that I, in anyway, am. However, when we were down at their beach house in Puerto Rico, I came across some pictures that might blow you away. I remember the gasping for air, and following shock. People so rich, that they drove z8's, and just parked them in the woods. No garages, no respect. Just drove the damn thing in to the woods. Scraping it up, debris falling on it. I mean what the hell?

Note that this is NOT a wreck. Simply a parking job.

Edit - I linked the pictures since they were very large.

PR is nice - I used to do a lot of work down there. Have you ever gone to the rivers in the back country? There are a ton of cherry Golden Eagle Jeep CJs and other super nice V8 offroaders (though not as nice as a Z8).

I'll have to dig up some more pictures, but they have a car port with a hummer h2, and a 4 runner in it. It was just hilarious that the hummer was in the garage and the z8 the damn overgrowth. I'll see if I can find it and host it.

Nah, I haven't. the house is on the Eastern side of the island outside of Humacao. I'd like to explore the whole island some day though.
