I walked out disgusted.

Thats being said, the velvet blue is quite nice. It looks a little blu-er than montego.
LOL as if you didn't believe us! its 33% Luxury car tax for anything above 57k. How anything about 57k is considered luxury I do now know.. All it means is that if you buy a Rolls, it will cost you ~$1.1million USD. And $300k of that is LCT.
