A two-minute clip from HBO's Silicon Valley season 2 in which Russ Hanneman shows off his gull-wing car doors. It is a comedic scene about startup excess.
Used purely as a joke reference when gull-wing doors or tech-money excess come up.

I know it's unhealthy, but I harbor a fantasy in which the modest and user-loving folks from SmugMug[0] pivot Flickr into an all-encompassing portal system a la iMode[1] and drive the productivity vampire Slack[2] out of business, ideally leaving Mr Butterfield a few dollars shy of gull-wing doors[3].

The car guy (Daniel Mac) is awesome but the answers make me feel like I don't understand how money works. So many people doing things I would not have thought pay as well as software work, and they're all driving McLarens with doors that open like this! this video
Sorry for extremely vague but wanted it that way. The Gull-Wing Cars. Russ Hanneman in Silicon Valley. This should give you an idea this video
