I've read about that - the upper class is getting some serious wealth and they're spending it on cars. Who'd a thought that rich Russians would be car guys?

If you're rich you buy cars. I could use a RR Phantom.

I don't know why but the rich Russians you see in Chicago have an awful chip. My dad said the rich Chinese he sees on business trips don't have that awful chip the Russians have.
