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.

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
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].
