If you got free stuff from Virgin for life, you could get everything you would need to live. Branson is all about diversification. There are Virgin record stores, health clubs, airlines, space flight, balloon flights, spas, cell phone service, wines....
I worked in a pizza place and can confirm that drivers make a shocking amount of money relative to the work they do (though the wear and tear on their cars is not covered by the company, a big factor easily overlooked). The insiders - the grunts who aren't drivers - are the ones who get minimum wage. And they usually work the hardest.
Sure must be nice to be that rich. The cost of the campaign, the cost of the website, the reward(s), the replica, etc. How about you donate that cash to some cancer research or something a tad bit more worthwhile than a f**king lame ass car.

Here is the article from Popular Hot Rodding magazine about the car, from 2006:<a class="user" href="http://www.popularhotrodding.com/features/0611phr_1971_chevrolet_camaro/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.popularhotrodding.com/features/0611phr_ ...</a>

Nice pose. His Camaro should be featured on the next Transformers movie.

... Until you get to the part where he puts it up for display instead of driving it.

Better than an early 90s ford taurus, where the novelty of learning how to drive is replaced by the realization that the car is a giant piece of s**t.
