I wonder what the cost was for the car tomb?

The family of a motoring fanatic have built him a tomb in the shape of a shiny black BMW - complete with personalised number plate.

I have been thinking of doing that for me.

But I would pick a (Cadillac) limousine. More stretch-out room and more comfortable in general.

It's OK but I would prefer an M-car sliding at full opposite lock.

Being a Brit I'm surprised he didn't do a Brit car and some dry quip about Lucas - "Prince of Darkness"

Wow...that's gotta cost a pretty penny. I wonder how long it takes for it to be vandalized.

That probably had less significance on their income than a regular funeral/tomb would cost for the average american.

That does not change the fact that this is still wasting an amount of money that could be better spent somewhere else.

"better spent somewhere else"?

As determined by whom?

You?

You have been appointed to decide how others spend their money?

Have I missed the news that we are subject to your approval before we spend our money as we see fit?
