Gold-Brick Porsche!

By Jen Dunnaway

Editor

Check out this bizarre gold-plated Boxster that turned up on Born Rich today. It apparently lives in Russia, where a reported 40 lbs of gold were used to create its uber-luxy veneer. Born Rich also recently posted a list of its top 12 ridiculously over-the-top blinged-out rides, including the now-familiar Swarovski-crystal Mercedes, a gold-plated Beetle from the ‘06 Bucharest Luxury Show, and a more than a little yucky ivory-crusted BMW (wonder how many dead elephants that one required?). There were a lot of things like tarted-up lowrider bicylcles and Asanti wheels and such on the list, but I pulled out all the actual cars and posted them below the jump. Enjoy!

I like the Bentley! But seriously, the guys got guts, parking a gold plated Porsche on the street! I’d be afraid to park it anywhere near another car for fear of parking lot dings, or even worse, someone with a key and a bad attitude!

Yeah, OK “Frank”. You need to look up the definition of a “tree hugger”. And I am sure you are definitely in a position to judge what constitutes “looking like ass”.

I am really disgusted by the elitist attitudes shown by the CarDomain “staff”. For a site of so-called “car enthusiasts”, you guys sure do a lot of criticizing, embarrassing, ridiculing, and putting down of other people’s cars. Who cares if you don’t like their cars? It makes you all look SOOO low and pathetic when you single them out like this. Really lets everyone see just how petty and little you all are. Thought you might like to know that you really aren’t making them look bad, only shining a big spotlight on your own arrogance. So whatever happened to the CarDomain policy that states that people are not to be singled out and made to look foolish because of the look of their ride? People are supposed to be able to do whatever they choose with their cars and not be ridiculed for it. All you guys do is set the customizing world back several steps. With you idiots leading the crowd, it’s no wonder why “hating” is as popular as it is.

Nice detail to the Porshe. If you got the money, you may as well spend it the way you want to spend it no matter what people think. You can’t please all the people all the time. If they don’t like it, screw them.

Love the Ford Pickup and the Boxter. Not so much the VW or Hummer. The flower ride’s interesting and the dragon is very cool, but would not be good as a permanent fixture, more as something to put on the car for display. What would be really awesome with the dragon is if the exact same dragon were painted on the car, except basically a black outline with a different but somewhat muted red.

The only thing that I can relate to in this lot is the Ford truck. The rest of it is just to strange for me.
