Here—let us direct you to the manufacturer now catering to that armor-plated circular thinking popularized by the superrich; it offers to “adorn every inch of” your “exotic vehicle” with some replacement carbon bodywork. The job can cost anything between 100k-200k, which, Pistonheads notes, is an astoundingly relaxed estimate, with a range of 100 percent. It would be churlish to refuse!

• Ben Schwartz recently wrote on the Baffler blog that “No one was more surprised to be booed during Vietnam than Bob Hope. It shouldn’t surprise anyone if one day, and maybe one day soon, the same thing happens to Amy Schumer or John Oliver.”
