And there's probably a Saudi prince who thinks it would make his custom factory special AMG Merc look real special.

I've been wanting to start a thread on pics of 'really expensive stuff' after seeing the crazy prices of some stuff while waiting around airport lounges.....
Best I've seen was a posh re-branded phone that looked like a very basic Nokia bar style phone... To the tune of several thousand dollars if memory serves... Don't get me started on pens....

I bought one in Macau at the casino after I won $16,000 at Shaitan racetrack and the other in Christchurch Airport after I won $6000 at the casino there. They both write very well although a 20c woolies biro can also be used to write. I did not buy them to just write shopping lists. On the other hand a Great Wall X240 can do everything a FPV GT R-Spec can do except just a bit slower........ |

But for me, it's money well spent. Same with your pens, my brothers fancy watches and some of the fancy cars people own on this forum. Oh, I wouldn't use them to write the shopping list either!

So bar the expensive case it comes in, what's so special about this wax? And i'm sure people who have the sort of cash to buy something like this sure as hell wouldnt be waxing their own cars, thats what the help gets paid to do.

I wouldn't pay $100 for a normal iPhone. Who the hell would want to pay all that money for a phone covered in gold that's going to be obsolete in a year????? Wait, I'm surprised all the Telstra, Optus, Vodafone etc shops haven't got these flying off the shelves in droves bundled cheap locked to a prepaid network for all those bogans that seem to love this expensive crap just to make themselves look rich instead of having to say "nah mate I don't work I'm on the dole 'ey but look at me phone mate". OMG and on that note for all the bogans that love to sit on the dole playing PS3 instead of finding a job, they'd love this to be the best Shazza or Dazza in the neighbourhood, with their stupidly big TV all being funded by the taxpayer: Quote:

Not even that good of a wax - only lasts for 'up to' 4 months (so realistically it will be less than that)...there are products for $50 that will last a fair bit longer and I bet you'd be hard pressed to see any difference in the 'look' they give...

Only lasts four months?? I've got waxes and polishes sitting on my cleaner shelf in the shed that have been there for two years...especially the good Meguires stuff I use on the motorbikes, because lets face it, about a capful is enough to do a motorbike.
Can't go past Meguires for reasonably priced polishes, and they certainly last more than four months... |
