It's in the Carbage thread somewhere. I can understand if he still wanted the car but was sick of people treating him like a Bentley driver. Maybe he didn't want to look pompus, or wanted to reduce the chances of someone jelous vandalizing it.

More likely his name begins with "H", since it doesn't say Hyundai anywhere, just their logo.

Then why do the license plate frames say "Hyundai of Bel Air"? I can't imagine many of those dealerships carrying $170k Bentleys.

$5 can buy you a custom license plate. I don't think anyone in or around Bel-Air is going to be caught in a neighborhood with a Hyundai, let alone in one or at a dealership that sells them intentionally.

I'm impressed - they found a way to make the car even more crass. Nice work.

Old school Bentleys FTW, Conti family FTL.

It's about what the Bentley deserves.

I don't like the Continental GT.
