Rolls-Royce, Jean-Claude Van Damme
Car: Rolls-Royce Star: Jean-Claude Van Damme

Muscles from Brussels pilots the engine from England

Watching "Streetfigher" and "Lionheart" won't make you a martial-arts expert like Jean-Claude Van Damme, but if you get off your duff and start earning some cash you may have save enough to drive his car. Van Damme is a fan of the classic luxury import, the Rolls-Royce.

If Jean-Claude were to add a 2002 Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph Exotic Sedan to his collection, it would set him back a minimum of $229,990 and that's not including a destination charge of $800. But check out the standard features -- heated front and rear seats, a trip computer, climate control, interior air filtration, wood and leather trim, dusk-sensing headlights, remote anti-theft alarm system, chrome alloy rims and a chrome grill.

Why buy a Seraph if you can't afford the options? Adding a bottle cooler to the rear center armrest will cost $4,790. If you got the DVD system with twin screens in the headrest for $395 you could watch "Universal Soldier" while on the road. And sidelight security glass will cost $5,375 -- but then no one would know who spent all that money on this car.
