Default most expensive car???

This is NOT stainless steel...My, Oh My..:








This is not stainless steel or chrome...

Recession? What recession?
So, it seems that this "global recession" has not impacted negatively on
everyone.
Check this out!
It's a Mercedes Benz owned by an Abu Dhabi oil billionaire
(naturally).

Featuring the newly developed V10 quad turbo with 1,600 horsepower and
2800nm of torque
0-100km/h in less than 2secs, 1/4 mile in 6.89 secs running on bio fuel.

That is NOT stainless steel, nor chrome people,
it is WHITE GOLD! I'm sure you'll sleep better tonight, knowing that
the exorbitant dollars/pounds you're paying for petrol/diesel these days
are at least going to a good cause...

This is almost as old as the internet itself. It's a stock standard Mercedes McLaren SLR with chrome vinyl wrapping.

Gold is very heavy... anyone hazzard to guess what that car would weigh if it were gold? Then again, it would be about the worst material you would make a car out of as well.....
