“I’ve had seven of these cars. This dwarfs every one of them. This is one of the top-rated cars in the world and there is a waitlist all over the world for this car so I’m happy to get it and they gave me a great honor to get me in position to get one,” said Carson.
Carson says this vehicle will absolutely not be sitting in his garage collecting dust.
He says this will be his daily driver and he will be selling his other car.
