This car was showcased in Los Angeles in an Auto Show that was held there. Apparently, it has also made an appearance in an Auto Show held in Dubai as well. In the picture it looks just like any silver speckled painted Mercedes. I wonder how it looks like exactly. I hope it will make a tour of the different Auto shows in the world. I would love to see what this excessively decked car looks like up close! I wonder if there is any one who will buy it for collection. Cars like this are not likely to be driven normally on the street!

ha ha ha ha ha... you actually want to roll down the street in that? I guess there are other who does too. I read in the papers, there is another car that is also decked in crystals like the merz mentioned here. I think it is a Pontiac. The latest one that was featured in the Transformers movie as Jazz. I will see if I can find the picture to post here for all to see.

of course not! it could absolutely not be driven in any street. if people can steal mirrors and emblems, how much more diamonds! i know this car is ridiculous, but hey so was the $25-thousand dessert that was recently seen on guinness. i wonder why people can think of these excesses? just because you have too much doesn't mean that others have no need. has the world become so calloused and hard-hearted that there is no longer heart for the underprivileged?

Yeah... i read about that too! Imagine, paying so much money for such a small morsel of gold only to have it become what all digested good will become. If one must really taste gold, would not it be better if one were to go out and buy a gold bar. Whenever the urge of eating gold comes about, just take a quick swipe of the gold bar with the tongue and that's it! Gold craving satisfied! And you get to keep the gold bar at its original weight too! The things people with too much money to spend would do! Sheez!

WOw that care is beautiful and marvelous. I just have to say though, I think it is a waste of money. When kids are starving all over the world that car just seems a little excessive. Its not like anyone is ever going to actually use it anyways. I will give it to you though, it is stunning to look at.

I agree with you that the car would be marvelous to look at. The picture cannot really show much. Cannot imagine how this car would look like on a hot sunny afternoon on the streets. Everyone would be blinded by the glare of the car's bonnet! It is totally impractical to put so many diamonds on a car, regardless of whether it is real or not. Yes, it is extremely excessive in my opinion.
