NO, YOU DO NOT HAVE A CAR!!!!

I love cars, I really love cars and I was day dreaming today then I decided to research the Brabaus website, (Brabaus are the guys who tune up Mercedes Benzes, or you could just say that they are the 'Mash Auto' of the German beasts). Now these guys do not just tune up any old Benz, no they don't. You have to have a brand new Benz and take it to them to spruce it up or you just order one directly from them. So I decided to take things a notch higher and contacted one of their personel and we started chatting live. She asked me what I wanted in "my Benz" and I funguad my roho, once we were done she asked me about mode of payment and I innocently inquired how much that would cost. "If you have to ask then you can't afford it" came the shameless reply and she logged of. The nerve. How does she know that I am not the crown prince of Zamunda?

Anyhu, where was I? Oh yes, The brabaus website. My eyes landed on two particular cars. The Maybach Landualet and the Maybach Exelero and boy aren't those two machines fine!!! Now, the Landaulet looks like a Benz (it's concept came from the S Class anyway) but what really caught my broke behind's attention, was the Exelero, the things looks like The Bat Mobile, you guy!!!

Maybach Landaulet:


The Maybach Landaulet includes many luxury features such as fully-reclining rear seats, Maybach 4 zone climate control, tinted-windows, infrared-reflecting laminated glass all round, AirMATIC dual control air suspension, display instruments in rear roof liner (showing speed, time and outside temperature), folding rear tables (left and right), BOSE Surround Everywhere sound system and a refrigerator compartment. The Maybach Landaulet also includes an array of additional features such as Cockpit Management and Navigation System (COMAND), which includes DVD navigation, CD changer in rear seats, DVD players and TV tuners front and rear, two rear LCD TV screens including remote control and two sets of headphones, and automatic closing doors.

Even though the Maybach Landaulet has all these features included, optional extras are available. Some of these optional extras include a panoramic glass sun roof at a cost of $11,670 and an external communication system, which includes a loudspeaker and microphone system which allows the occupant in the rear of the Maybach to talk and listen to the people outside the car. This option comes at a cost of $1,780. A further option for the Maybach is a retractable electrotransparent partition screen between the driver and the rear occupants, at $23,780. The most expensive option for the Maybach is a high protection GUARD B4 Package which costs an additional $151,810. The ones that you see in the music videos are the Maybach 57s which are smaller and have standard Benz features cost only $344,000, around ksh 28 milli. Same price as a 2010 Mercedes S600. Kibaki's S600 Benz cost 33m. So baba jimmy can rock a 57 Maybach na abaki na change ya Toyoya corolla nne.

How much does this 4 seater, 7m long beast cost? $ 1,350,000 ama KSH 110,700,000. (Yes, that's over a hundred and ten milli)

Maybach Exelero:


The Maybach Exelero is a high-performance sports car designed and built by German Luxury car manufacturer Maybach. It was presented in May 2005 in Berlin, Germany. It is a 700 hp (522 kW) two-seater with a bi-turbo V12 engine.

How much does this cost? A believe it or not $8,000,000 ama Ksh 656,000,000 (ndio ndio, that's six hundred and fifty six milli).

Jay-big lip-Z is "riding" in one of these in one of his videos. But he really is not driving it for 2 reasons. (a) The owners who allowed him to hire it for three days for the video shoot could not allow him to drive it out of the show room, (b) you need a week of driving lessons to handle the kind of power it has. For the shoot in the show room with a blue screen, he paid 125,000 dollars per day, and he paid.

8 Million Dollars....OK, sawa!!!
