UPDATE: Buy the T-Shirt at Cafe Press!
Yep, that’s a Rolls Royce Phantom (2008 MSRP $340,000) in the parking lot of the Newport RI Wal Mart captured with my phone on Saturday.
The headline is my best shot at a caption (YouTube has the old Grey Poupon commercial). What’s yours?

I don’t have a quote, John. I am just so impressed that you *knew* it was a 2008 Phantom. 🙂

Haha. Shouldn’t this owner of the rolls be having someone do his shopping for him, which would be a better return on his investment?
