Who would actually wrench on anything in one of those and risk staining the floor?

Like they auctually wrench anything themselves?

There is a guy in town who has a newer Ferrari. The closest Ferrari dealer is 2.5 hours away. He has them come down to do the oil changes and whatever easy service.

When I worked for bmw back in the late 90s, we did the same for some of the better customers.

One guy that we did work for, had every M car made plus a few other top end bmws, w were at his house once a month to service his vehicles in one way or another. One time dude called us out to check the air pressure in all his tires. Admitedly, the guy bought a few fully loaded 7 series cars a year, and probably spent close to $1m a year at the dealership, so for them it was probably worth it

I think when you have to move 6 cars to get 1 car out, it's time for a bigger garage... or to sell some cars.

Lot of real nice cars and real nice garages.
Nothing I'd want to own or care that much about.
Only times I stopped scrolling and stared a bit was on the grey Ferrari (early 80's late 70's), the blue BMW and the orange BMW 2002.

The rest of em are generic money pits. A blast to drive no doubt, but I can think of other things to spend that kind of money on.
To each their own

I'd imagine that most of those people ran out of 'other things to spend that kind of money on' long ago...

If I had money to throw away...I'd throw it elsewhere.
Like I said...to each their own.
