Now I'm all for exotic sports cars, and I love my classic Porsche 911. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the joys that a sporting automobile can bring to the lucky driver and passenger, making any trip an exciting adventure.
But when it comes to coating your exotic in white gold, diamonds or gold leaf... I think enough is enough. After all faithful readers of my column will know that I did buy a Prius as my daily driver. Just by choosing a Toyota Prius over my other choices, I alone will use 50% less gas than any car that I was considering.
I think the oil people have quite enough money as is. I mean does anyone really need a white gold Mercedes, or a diamond studded SL, or a gold plated Porsche 911 and Mercedes SL. I mean could you possible be bored with your white gold Ferrari 599, Audi A8, BMW and Hummer?
This video is an example of the excesses that come with having a bit too much money. Well at least the white gold Mercedes runs on bio-fuel. Here is a look at some gold and diamond plated exotics.
