I admire people like above that do good for others with their fortunes.

 

Yep overboard on these cars for sure..... I wonder if they are even driven?

 

Hi `Tadd, from the pictures it looks like they are driven on the city streets +...I think you would need to have Car Body Guards trying to follow you around and when you parked it any place.

I don't like them, but would take the gold and keep the cars as they were before they were plated with gold. If I were a thief I'd steal them and melt them down for the gold


I don't know about your experience with the wealthy, but I've found that those I've met don't really seem happy in life no matter how many expensive things they own. I also know many seniors that are rich and they say that they would give all their wealth for just having good health. I was taught to help people if & when I can and it gives me great joy when I do and can help someone in my life. I'm not claiming to be an angel and would really enjoy a new Camaro or Corvette & would share my joy with those in my life. The only person I would want to impress with it would be myself in that I have saved my $'s to get a super nice ride...That's all that falling outa my mind for now (LOL) >>>It's empty now (LOL).

Thanks for your Thread...I Enjoyed

 

No doubt they grab your attention.
I wonder how well they look in person. When I see cars wrapped in vinyl, they look "neat" but I wonder if paint would be better (granted, not exactly sure how you would pull off gold paint lol).
The Lambo is my car of choice in those pics!!

Hi Admin `Jason,
The Lambo would be my choice, but I'd sell it and get a Corvette & have lots of money left over to buy a house/boat/motorcyle home, your Monte + live for the rest of my life on the remaining $'s
I don't know how you maintain Gold vinyl. Gold Polish ?
