        We'll just have to take solace in the fact that everyone that meets him probably hates him with a fierce passion.

    • repmekevets, on 07/07/2008, -3/+10ok let's assume it's pure gold. gold is over $900 per ounce right now.. article says 40lbs of it were used.. that's $576k in gold alone. ohh yeah, let's not forget the porsche itself, which is clearly over $100k. and then someone had to actually design/fabricate/install it on the porsche. the total for this car clears $1 million easily if you ask me.

      i'll just send them a check through paypal...
      • ElTomacco, on 07/07/2008, -3/+2Over $100K for a 996? Nah, you can pick one of those up for like 60 grand. More if it's a Turbo/GT3/GT2, those might still go for $100k+.
  • Masternajee, on 07/06/2008, -7/+20Actually looks pretty crappy to me. Would be more impressive to have the porsche with the gold bricks in your bedroom.

    • Kohaxx, on 07/07/2008, -1/+3I'm pretty sure I would key him if I had the chance. The gold shavings on my keys would net me a small fortune and I would have successfully pissed off a douchebag.
  • thelaxdude, on 07/06/2008, -6/+46This is the ultimate "I am a *****" car...and then someone went and cover it gold taking it up to 11.
    • ToeCracker, on 07/06/2008, -7/+8You mean . . . the ultimate . . . "I have a very small *****" car?
      • urgeigh, on 07/07/2008, -3/+9That whole expensive/fast car = small ***** idea is just retarded, who the hell came up with that anyway? Oh yeah probably someone who couldn't afford a car with less than 100,000 miles and 40 lbs of rust on it. Jealousy.

    • JointVenture, on 07/07/2008, -3/+4Typical liberal wealth envy.

      You ***** always fall back on the "he must have a small *****" line projecting your wealth envy upon the driver.

      Its not the small size of their ***** but the small size of your savings account.
      • jesusfish, on 07/07/2008, -1/+3What does this have to do with liberals? I'm probably about as conservative as they get, and I'd naturally assume this guy is a *****, too.

    • feliks2, on 07/07/2008, -4/+9Ruining beauty and perfection isn't exactly "cool."
      • midejitsu, on 07/07/2008, -8/+2Good thing they did that to a Porsche then. Disfiguring a DB9 would have been a crime, but who cares about a 911?
      • feliks2, on 07/07/2008, -3/+6DB9 is somewhat better looking, but the 911 is a better car overall. Either way the guy is such an ass.

    • diggtochina, on 07/07/2008, -6/+1If you gold plate a turd its still a piece of *****.

  • pirlok, on 07/06/2008, -10/+5although i think it looks cool, i don't understand why he did such thing.. the owner give the money to starving children in Africa or he could fund some research...well, it seems like there are crazy people everywhere..
    • seabass10, on 07/07/2008, -1/+7or he could plate his Porsche in GOLD!

  • sneakeykop, on 07/07/2008, -21/+12Gold Porsche = small dick.

    put the owner in a small room / lock the doors / turn on the gas
    • Fun4Two, on 07/07/2008, -2/+4Always wondered about that. Do men with huge massive wangs drive Honda fits and suzuki aeros.
    • Tribis, on 07/07/2008, -1/+1Real men, no matter the extent of their wealth, drive small economy cars. If it can be said that men with small penises drive expensive sports cars, to show off their wealth, then it can also be said that men who drive small economy cars do it just to show off how big their package is.

      Thus they are all pretentious douchebags.
  • smilemon, on 07/07/2008, -10/+8I hope he upgraded the engine to compensate for the extra weight, all that gold could increase his 0 - 60 time by a second or two.
    • xObsoletex, on 07/07/2008, -2/+3The comments on the page say that it used only 40lbs of gold. Not enough to increase the 0-60 time at all.
      • asus2000, on 07/07/2008, -1/+240 lbs!? That's gold leaf, that may be 10 ounces of gold at most.
      • cheesycow5, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2It says 18 kg right in the description.
      • wastelander, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1I was thinking the same thing.. 18 kg of gold? He could have done it with a tiny fraction of that using gold leaf. It looks like it has gold plates screwed onto it. http://www.englishrussia.com/?p=1990 WTF?
    • theotheragentm, on 07/07/2008, -1/+10You don't race a car like that. You drive real slow and look at your reflection in the shop windows with a smug look of self satisfaction.
  • BoonTobias, on 07/07/2008, -1/+16i'm gonna start panning when it rains
  • ikesauto, on 07/07/2008, -1/+7I was about to buy it. I was only 250k short
    • rolf, on 07/07/2008, -6/+2That's probably gold leaf, less than a 1000 worth. A lot of paint jobs cost more, to put it in perspective. It's real gold, but very thin.

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_leaf#Gold_leaf
      • cawpin, on 07/07/2008, -3/+12Do you not comprehend "18kg worth"?

        That's 39.96 lbs or 639.36 ounces. At the low price of today, $914.30, that's $584,566.85 in gold. Yeah, totally less than $1000.
      • asus2000, on 07/07/2008, -1/+1Absolutely correct. That is not 40 lbs worth of gold.. lol - that's a few ounces at most.
      • rolf, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2@Capwin,

        Yes, I comprehend it very well as I was reading the comments in the original story too but I was assuming that it was meant to be 18K gold (as in 18 karat or 0.75 purity) and the 18kg was a typo. Or just an outright exaggeration.

        I don't believe anyone would leave a car with ~40 lbs of gold sitting around. It's a waste of money and no insurance would cover it. I know enough rich people, they didn't get that way by being exceptionally stupid.
      • Issius, on 07/07/2008, -0/+3What about rich people's kids?
      • rolf, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1Point taken. This is also in Moscow, and if it were Russian Mafia -- no one would touch it.

        Still, at the close-up photographs, it looks like a thin treatment rather than anything applied in sheets or anything like that...
  • pmctosh, on 07/07/2008, -6/+6Hmmm, love Porches, this makes the big FAIL though. Coming to a tow hook near you soon me thinks.
    • asus2000, on 07/07/2008, -2/+1Do you have a rocking chair on yours?
  • skewl, on 07/07/2008, -1/+3Here we go another Stooge.
  • tokuturfey, on 07/07/2008, -2/+66Well, it's cheaper than covering it in gas.
    • ToeCracker, on 07/07/2008, -2/+3Hilarious . . . and so bloody true! Gas seems dearer than gold for sure these days.
    • mikinurbook, on 07/07/2008, -2/+3Although covering it in gas as part one of a two-step process, might be just what it needs.
  • MadMalc, on 07/07/2008, -4/+2Well at least it wont rust!!
  • andyboyd, on 07/07/2008, -1/+31Gold plating you car is one way to avoid depreciation

  • decepticrat, on 07/07/2008, -5/+7In light of global famine, this is just awesome! /s
    • Tribis, on 07/07/2008, -2/+6You realize that this man or woman who owns this car has no obligation to help out with world famine just because he/she is wealthy. Charities accept small donations as well, so I hope you have donated to help and are not just waiting for the rich to hand out their money simply because they have a lot of it.
    • JointVenture, on 07/07/2008, -3/+3***** you, grow your own food.
  • mentol, on 07/07/2008, -3/+9I would definitely scratch this one in the parking ... just to get the gold dust off of it :)
    • Steinr, on 07/07/2008, -3/+2and then what are you going to do with the gold dust? its worthless.

      and that car is ugly! Porsche should sue for ruining the brand.
  • TooScoops, on 07/07/2008, -1/+86I hope the headlights shoot rainbows.

  • fitqueenb, on 07/07/2008, -0/+6Yeah, not much to say other than that is one hell of an ugly gold car. Gold is nice, but my goodness, that is horrible looking!

    More money than brains diseases maybe?
  • staffell, on 07/07/2008, -2/+5"If you have enough money and you would like to have an ugly but unique car, buy some gold and cover your car with it. This way you will attract everyone’s attention."

    Yeah, including those who want to scratch your bodywork up because they think you're a pretentious tosser.....and they're probably right.

    • trademaak, on 07/07/2008, -1/+0Right, like somebody would ever DARE to do that for no reason...even for a good reason nobody wouldn't. If he can buy this kind of a car, he can pretty much destroy you.

  • Merendino, on 07/07/2008, -5/+5Does anyone remember why the French revolution started? The civil unrest, the extravagant spending of the noble class, the class inequality, and much more. I specifically remember reading a story about how one of the sparks to start it was a carriage from a French Noble being so incredibly highly decorated with gems and gold and precious metals that the townspeople started to realize exactly what their taxes were being used for.... ridiculous *****.

    This car.... yeah, its awfully comparable to that story.
    • Tribis, on 07/07/2008, -1/+12I don't think anyones' taxes paid for that car.
      • Merendino, on 07/07/2008, -1/+2I'm going to go ahead and say it... because I believe it to be true, but inflation is a tax. And inflation is controlled by a few people.... those few people are called bankers. People with money can keep it and make FAR more money than those who do not start with such high funds.

        Bankers = Kings
        Loan Brokers = Nobles

        Use a little creative thinking and apply the concepts of capitalism to feudalism and its more than a little interesting.

    • asus2000, on 07/07/2008, -4/+5It's not about "just as fast", it's about refinement. I traded my 2000 Corvette for a 2000 Porsche 911 in 2003. I loved every minute of driving the Porsche, opposed to the Corvette brute.
    • Flafan, on 07/07/2008, -4/+5Lucas123, thanks for proving to everyone that you know very little about cars.
    • Butros, on 07/07/2008, -2/+1Haha you hit the nail on the head. Corvette, M series BMW's, Nissan GT-R. Porsche is for people who want a status symbol and know nothing about performance.
      • Spor, on 07/07/2008, -1/+1Are you serious? Street legal none of these cars could keep up with a 911 on the track. As for the ALMS the Corvette is in a different class but only the M3 GTR has kept up with the Porsche, it was only able to race a few years though as it didn't fit the consumer production requirement. If you can get your hands on an M3 GTR then you have a performance car, it'll cost you more than a 911 though.

      • Nayson, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1I guess the satire was lost in the implication that someone who can afford a gold plated Porsche would be worried about the price of juice.

      • xNIBx, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1Actually porsches have really good mileage even compared to normal cars. They are small, aerodynamic, with relatively small engines. It's not unusual to get 25+mpg on a 911. And boxsters can even get 30+ or 35+ mpg.
