GalaticSuite.com

The Barcelona-based architects of The Galactic Suite Space Resort say it will cost 3 million euro ($4.4 million) for a three-night stay at the hotel, with this price including an eight-week training course on a tropical island.

During their stay, guests would see the sun rise 15 times a day and travel around the world every 80 minutes. They would wear velcro suits so they can crawl around their pod rooms by sticking themselves to the walls like Spiderman.

If I had money to blow like that I would do it but I would wait a few months to see how safe it is.

I Was Rolling Down Rodeo Drive & I Spotted This Beauty


bugatti1

Was out in LA so I checked out Rodeo Drive to see what the hype is about and spotted a Bugatti Veyron chilling on the street. This isn’t some ordinary sports car, this exotic cats retails for 1.3 MILLION DOLLARS! After the crazy price tag you can see the maintenance fees are ridiculous as well below. My question is would ever purchase an item so expensive if you were rich enough to afford it?

The cost of the first scheduled service on a Veyron is £13,645 ($22,322), with later services getting more expensive. Tires need to be replaced approximately every 4,000 kilometres (2,500 mi). The cost of tires for a Veyron is £6,325 ($10,347) a set, and they can only be fitted by Bugatti. Bugatti says that labour is the bulk of the cost at £6,000 ($9,815), which also includes checking the many complex systems on the car. At every third tire change, the roadwheels must be replaced. If the original new car 2 year warranty wants to be extended, it will cost an extra £38,000 ($62,164) for 1 year, and £63,000 ($103,062) for 2 years.
