I am not sure you can't afford anything fancy.

Cars are a waste of time, if you are really super rich you would have a driver anyway

But wouldn't the driver need a car too?

This is kind of interesting , i'm sure it's hard to say how accurate it is though as how do they know how many cars they really own

I wonder if this guy would let me borrow one of his 5,000 cars

And what would give you that impression?

Let's ignore your grammar and assume your sentence said what you meant and not what was written.

How much is super rich to you? I have a friend that is worth half a bill and he loves his cars. He has no driver. Jay Leno drives his cars from his vast collection. He is not worth half a bill but has more money than most people. I see fewer limo's these days with the wealthy. Oprah does have a limo service pick her up from the airport when she flies into Santa Barbara. She never requests a limo though, usually a towncar or an Escalade. After she gets home I have no idea what she drives or if she drives at all. So you see it all depends on the person.

If you look to Rollers, Bentleys, Ferraris, or a Lambo and a few other brands that you may have never heard of, these cars are sold to the really super rich. The average Rolls owner owns 3 or more cars. When you realize they are dropping $400,000 for a car and they have 3 or more that may cost a similar amount then you have to realize it is the wealthy that are buying these cars.

Gold digger. No self-respecting woman would ever agree to get into a car with a man she doesn't know, even if he were driving a Lamborghini.

I am not from an English speaking, I would like to see you guys learn a foreign language, most Americans can't speaking anything but English.

True. I'm fluent in Spanish, and can get by in French.

My home is Spanish English. When I get in my wifes car it is Spanish music. The TV is on Spanish Television a lot of the time. In my part of the nation many people speak both Spanish and English
