We try to give you practical car advise in this blog, but we’ve come across a car story so bizarre that it’s worth interrupting the “straight” talk for a breath of amusement.
An apparently wealthy European gentleman has modified a $470,000 Mercedes SLR with and is now asking $11,000,000 for the car.
Among its “modifications”:
- Gold-trimmed interior.
- Gold steering wheel.
- Gold flake in 25 coats (?!) of red paint.
- Ruby-coated switch gear.
- The wheel bolts are gold-dipped and capped with rubies.
See the owner’s for-sale page here (English translation at bottom).
The question we want answered…
How did a man with such poor judgement amass the money to display such judgment?
