Aluminum is for chumps, how about WHITE GOLD
Owned by an Abu Dhabi oil billionaire (naturally).
Featuring a newly developed V10 quad turbo with 1,600 horsepower.
And the car is completely covered in, yes, white gold (and paid for with black gold no doubt).

We bought that for him. Great to see what those humps are doing with our oil money. They could cure cancer tomorrow but they bring this crap into the world.

There's some harsh words here but they are 'us' on a bigger scale.
Some would say the same about our cars.

Keep in mind that "covered" with white gold could be a layer thinner than most paint. Gold leaf can be pounded out to a thickness measurable in gold molecules.

Ahoy polloi!
Wow! All the tsk-tsking and tut-tutting is deafening. Similar noises, I suppose, are made by the hoi polloi when we display our polished alloy Kirkhams. Hell - if we are the ones giving them the money they ought to be using to cure cancer - why don't we reign in our spending and cure cancer ourselves? I'm sure the proletariat would approve.

As the old saw goes, "I've grown. You've changed. He sold out."
I'd venture to say that a $60k Cobra represents more wealth, net, to a citizen of Haiti or Somalia than this ridiculous bauble does to any average US citz. So it's all relative and, generally being a free world, Sheik Babar is as free to spend his pocket change on these things as we are. Whatever you're muttering about him, someone a lot further down the ladder is muttering about you.

I think it looks spectacular.
In terms of personal nay-sayers over my Cobra, I look no further than my own wife who thinks the money would have been better spent on house remodelling, or landscaping, or vacations, or...
Living near Santa Cruz, not only am I a selfish pig, but I'm a poluting, selfish pig.
But, when I fire up my Cobra and go for a drive, I think, "I can live with that."

Well you selfish polluting pig, snorkel on and all those who don't own and drive a Cobra, with the possible exception of your wife, either don't know what you have or are jealous as hell. I think we can all live with that.

It all boils down to "how much money you can afford to spend to impress yourself or your buddies".
Why not do it, if you got it!.....but truth is, nobody really cares except you.
Happy to be walkin upright, Bill
