"matters automotive"
 
   Benjamin Stark owns many automobiles. Most of them were Tony's; Ben's been too busy to do a lot of heavy car shopping since he inherited Tony's stuff, and anyway, it's only fairly recently that he's gotten at all accustomed to being able to afford pretty much anything - that, as Tony would probably have put it, he's learned to think like a billionaire. A couple of the others, including the 2019 Camaro that appears in Meet Interesting Singles, he had before he went to Vietnam.

He's driven most of Tony's cars at least once, and sold a few of the ones he didn't like (he is, for instance, not much of a fan of Italian supercars, so he got rid of most of those, except for the Lamborghini Gallardo, which he kept because it once belonged to Jeremy Clarkson), but there are two he found in Tony's private warehouse, after it became his private warehouse, that he would never dream of parting with, but hasn't driven even once.

One is a 1965 Jaguar E-type Series I roadster, which is perhaps the handsomest car ever made, but which (in typical '60s Jag fashion) does not work.

He hasn't so much as touched the other...

... because he's pretty sure it would kill him.

This is, by the way, an actual mockup from Bugatti's "build your Veyron" web toy. This is not a color scheme they recommend, but you could get it if you wanted. What the hell, says Bugatti, it's your two million United States dollars.

Rumor has it Tony based the color scheme on that of his elementary school.
