Pimp My Rolls
Conspicuous consumption for the very, very wealthy.
The model used at the 2004 wedding of the Crown Prince of Brunei, Al-Muhtadee Billah Bolkiah, was modified to resemble a horse drawn carriage with solid gold decorations.
His family is reputed to own 500 Rolls-Royces - the world's biggest private collection. Meanwhile Nelly, the American rapper, had the interior of his Rolls-Royce redesigned in mink fur.
Eww. I bet that mink doesn't smell or feel so nice after a few parties.

--What? Too much? Be honest.
Anybody else want to take this baby out for a ripping good time through some mud and saplings? Can't imagine it handles quite as well with the weight of solid gold all over it, but I bet she can do OK. After all, that's still a Rolls Royce under there, somewhere.
Thanks to eddiebear.
