The weird story of Ohio Senate candidate Bernie Moreno's $3.4 million car

He owed an Austin Martin dealership. The car is a rare model worth far more than its sticker.

From what I understand about the new car business, I'd almost guarantee this car was floorplanned / purchased by the dealership itself (which he owned) and which then sold it for the final and ludacris sum listed.

I don't doubt he is an out of touch candidate, with zero connection to his constituency and probably terrible ideas on governance, but this storey itself is slightly less remarkable than the headline suggests.
