You know how those little wiener dogs with short legs can't climb stairs and get stuck on their bellies? Well, that's exactly what this looks like, as a very expensive Rolls-Royce Drophead Coupe experiences first world problems of the amusing kind – it can't get off a trailer.
It's kind of a weird problem to have, isn't it – weren't trailers designed specifically to load and unload cars very easily? Yes, but a Rolls-Royce is not an ordinary car because it's longer than a Range Rover, just as heavy and quite low. So just like that little wiener dog, its belly touches.
First world problems are nothing new, but they seem to occur more in Cannes than any other place in the world. This is a mecca for people with money, so naturally, they come from the Middle East or Russia thinking that their Rolls-Royce would feel right at home. But it doesn't!
Last year, Cannes was the scene of many similar incidents. For example, a Porsche 918 Spyder, the most expensive and technologically advanced German car of the moment, was stuffed with bags by stupid valets. We also saw the first Lamborghini Huracan being towed away.
So let that be a lesson to you, rich sir: next time you're thinking about going to Cannes, bring a small SUV, not a supercar or a canal barge like this Rolls.
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.
