Well I guess the car designers are running out of ideas to decorate their cars. It is reported that the diamond are fakes. The closest thing I can think of to fake diamonds are the man-made ones or the Swarovski's crystals. Talk about blink blink... this car is full of it! A little excessive, isn't it? I wonder how much it is retailing for. The other question that comes to mind is whether people will even buy it or not?

There is something wrong, you know? I don't receive any notifications for your discussions anymore. Somehow it is only spoiled for you. I replied to your recent discussions because I just so happen to see it pop up. That's how coincidental. Anyway regarding this, diamonds have always been used. It is not supposed to be creative. It is supposed to be a blatant flaunt of wealth for those who can afford it and want to volunteer to be kidnapped. Suit them lor.

Too hard to find you among so many pages. If it is easy for you to find me, you can perhaps delete me, then send me another friend request. When I accept it, you should appear on the last page then I can turn on notification easily. So enthusiastic lately? :P

ha ha.. I will try that... Remember to add me back as a friend! I had a little time and a minor attack of insomnia. So managed to catch up on some reading. With more reading done, there is more material to chat about. Heh heh...

Really? Hmm... maybe you should turn it off then turn it on again to see if it will work again or not. I am constantly posting new topics and replying to your topics as well. So you should be getting quite a few notifications. Heh heh... I guess these rich people are really making too much money for them to spend fast enough. Then again, when one is rich, people will appeal to their vanity to encourage them to spend their money. That is where businesses come from. With that kinda money to spend, I guess they could well afford security to protect them when they go a flaunting their wealth.

well, the first question that comes to my mind was how does one wash this car? or you just change all the 'diamonds' when they no longer sparkle? guess consumerism had scaled another new high in this case. i really wonder how far can one go when it comes to be different. and why does one want to be different? i'd say the 'diamonds' are most probably cubic zirconia, or whatever they are called.

ha ha ha ha... applefreak, you bring up the most relevant points in many of my topics! Best response for you gal! Usually we would put our jewelery in some sort of sonic machine to clean it. This Mercedes is gonna need a super large one to do that LOL! Well, on a practical note, I guess the poor fella who is assigned to clean it has to be really careful. Can you imagine wiping down the car when the threads in the cloth that you are using pulls out one of the diamonds by accident? And to maintain that showroom shine, I guess waxing and buffing is really out of the question! Hmm... how to wash a car that is decorated as such eh? I guess you have to dust it every day as long as it is in the show room. God forbid if this car was on the road and then it rains. The guy who is cleaning the car is going to have a really big headache!

thank you thank you so much. you are making me blush liao leh. :p but then again, that's really the first question that comes to my mind. guess the maker has absolutely no intention letting this car out on the road. or maybe those that can afford a car like this will just change all the 'diamonds' when they no longer sparkle. who knows right?

ha ha ha... you never know. I guess to the super rich, these monies are just peanuts that are not worth a second look. When you have a pocket lined with lots of dough, your out look is always different as compared to the man in the street. Ah well, takes all kinds of people to make this world. If there is someone who is willing to make it, there will be someone who will be wiling to buy it. ;)
