So, whats the coolest, oddest most expensive car etc you have sat in, driven, ridden

-
Bugatti Veyron.

Got to tear it apart, install stuff and put it back together.

Every single wire color code in the rear of the vehicle was light gray and voltage coding sucked to obtain signals.

Was offered to drive it by the owner but I declined.

I worked on Roy orbison's widows old Mercedes....put door lock actuators in it.

Worked on Elton John's personal vehicles and dealt with his little helper boys....ewww.

Several rock and rap stars! pro ball players personal cars including Tyler Perry and tons of braves players.
Braves players are usually out of town so we deal with their hot girlfriends.

Installed some updated equipment on one of the original, Eleanor mustang movie cars.

Tons of others I. Can't think of at the moment.

This is part two and you can see some more details. the car was sold for $237,000 three years ago and is now back east in the hands of a collector. Not sure if it gets driven as much now.

Prior to these videos, my brother overhauled the steam engine. Due to the oiler stopping, the block was destroyed so they bought a new one from England. They still have some being made over there.

It was truly an awesome looking and running "one of one" remaining vehicles. I think only two of this model were built in 1911 and this one was the hot rod version.

No terribly exotic cars, but at my age most of the cars I drove when I was a kid are now considered classics and command premium prices.

Most memorable was my uncles new 1957 Chrysler 300C with the power pack engine. He threw me the keys and told me to go out and beat up on some Corvettes and Thunderbirds. I did, and I can still clearly visualize the day.

Not a car, but I guess it fits the rare and expensive "etc." in the OP, and it was my hotrod for a good part of four years. It was used to haul around a Mace missile and its ground support equipment.
