Default I would buy one, but I am not that lucky:) (Bentley GT)

I got a letter from the Bentley dealer I bought my CL from last year. They are auctioning off 1,000 tickets for $1k apiece....the winner gets a new Bentley GT. It is for a good cause-muscular dystrophy or something. Anyone want to split the cost for a ticket with me, or 2?
Can you imagine buying 1 ticket and winning? That would be crazy.

I' ve yet to have seen one on the road here in Vancouver & I wasn't a huge fan of the Continental GT before, but my recent long weekend in LA, I saw at Ieast a dozen on the road, & I like them more & more, they look good in motion. I would consider one if I can afford it . . .

Winning a GT for $1k. I like the car but I would have to sell it and take the cash

I see the Continental Bently GT quite a bit here in south Fl. One day I just gazed at one inside and out. The interior is the sweetest of any car I've seen except the new RR. One day at the wheel shop, a guy was there who just put some 20 inchers on. I gazed as he drove off. Absolutely amazing...the way it moves looks like a cat about to pounce.

Before it came out I thought the pics were not very flatering. I thought the front was too thick and bulbous. In the flesh this car is one of the sweetest on the road. My wife thinks it resembles the 3GS a little. I won't go there.

I'd say buy a couple of tickets if you have the cash.
I wouldn't mind driving a GT.
