The Chairman of the MTA is appointed by the Governor of the State of NY. He is not an employee. Peter Kaliko is the Pres of H.K. Kaliko & Co., a huge real estate firm that is +60 yrs old. No doubt that the MTA Chairman is a powerful position, but Peter certainly didn’t get rich from the folks paying the subway fares. No doubt that this position has far more aggravation than monetary gratification.
People who spend millions of dollars on “collectibles” so they can fly them all over the world and win trophies and ribbons for doing nothing but owning them scare me. It’s not like this guy restored the vehicle. Must be nice to have so much money you can dabble in nothingness.
Dave, don’t hate the guy just because he is rich and can do things you can’t. More power to him. If I had lots of money, it’s my business what I do with it as long as its legal.
Oh, before Steve posted a comment, I was thinking maybe the Chief was in on it with the 11 public officials in NJ that were recently arrested. What does it have to do with NY?

the guy is seeking an extra $1M for dimunition of value of the vehicle. Kidding but it’s possible.
Otherwise how does a public official afford a $1M car?
I agree! Something seems odd about being able to afford these cars.
What, isn’t this a state owned vehicle? Do you want them to drive around in Chevys? How tacky.
google him, i did. interesting, i think family wealth from real estate. huge auto collection.
Yeah, I usually drive my million dollar Ferrari to work on Friday’s, but since it looked like rain, I took the Yugo instead!
