Real men wash with soap, own a maximum of one cream, which they got for Christmas and don't match their shirts to their pants. That's because all their money and time goes towards their car. But there are some in the word who do care more about their personal image and have the time and resources to buy something as crazy as a carbon fiber bathtub.
Yes, you heard us right, a bath tub from the stuff they use to make exotic cars. A company called Corcel makes these $68,000 tubs by hand at their workshop in Austria. They take about 10 weeks to build and weigh only 79.4 pounds, or 36 kilos.
The carbon fiber buckets even have a name "N°1" and are to be built in a limited run of just 51 pieces.
We have to admit that the idea does make sense. A light bathtub is ideal for luxury yachts because it's so much lighter. In addition, the coating is very deep and brings out the exotic nature of the material used. And because they are so rare and expensive, you're unlikely to see one of these anywhere else.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
