Mr. Quentin Willson hasn't been on TG since season 6. They just finished season 21. He's not a real fan of the "new" version. It's now not really a car show.

CNN would rather the owner of that boat still be homeless and addicted and running around claiming victim status that CNN could make a big huge production value out of and blame it on George Bush and Mitt Romney and the Koch brothers for taking away all the jobs for people addicted to coke and crack
actually picking yourself up, getting off your addictions, getting off the streets, making something of yourself, creating jobs for many others and then enjoying the fruits of your efforts does not fit the CNN narrative
and even if you do pick yourself up and make something of yourself to fit the CNN narrative you are suppose to run around guilt ridden and giving money away like it was candy to help enable others to stay addicted and living day to day on the streets because "you have walked a mile in their shoes" never mind that you decided that an old worn out pair of urine and vomit stained vans was no longer the pair of shoes you wanted to walk 5 feet in much less a mile so you took them off, tossed them in the dumpster or burn barrel and decided to pick yourself up and make something of yourself.......but of course how could anyone else possibly do that when you are now hogging "all the money" and buying fancy boats and cars instead of handing it to them with impunity so they can keep squandering it

Honestly I think you guys are over reacting, and getting political for no reason. (I must have missed the part of the article that got political) Who cares what that guys says. Its one guys opinion, I really like the Lambo boat, but I think some of the other MTI's are gaudy and tasteless, but that's just my opinion. (I'm sure the owner's could care less what I think about their boat) At least the article took time to point out that this is not some guy blowing daddy's money, but a self made success story. This Quentin Willson guy is obviously detached from reality, 1. he comes from money, 2. drives around in a MB SLS, 3. says the MTI is to expensive but says a Riva is ok? that little Riva in the picture would probably set you back about 650k http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1966...s#.U0MsHPldXRQ Yes there is some poor journalism going on here but there is poor journalism everywhere, CNN,FOX The AP, you have to wade through B.S. all of them varying levels of truth and crap that is used as filler.
