I feel like for people with the means to have one of these, having the plebeians pass through your car is a feature, not a bug.

I shall have to acquire a smoking jacket, a monocle, and a brandy snifter for those occasions. ;)
I don't follow, why would you want the rabble to pass through your private space?
Well for the exact same reason why it's so fun to drive a very expensive very flashy sports car through a crowded area - you get a lot of attention and everyone thinks "wow this person must be loaded". If that's your thing of course.

Same reason why rich people open up their gardens and dining halls and art collections to the public from time to time - to show off.

This happened to me. The Greisinger Museum is basically a rich person showing off their hobby.

I found it extremely interesting. Not because of the Tolkien lore but because it gave me a sneak peek into how someone really rich is living.

That would really need to be taken into account by the person running the murder mystery game.
