Well yes, I did receive it via email. I did check snopes and did a search on Google before posting and found nothing that says it's not Prince Waleed Mercedes or Diamonds. The oldest post I did find was from December 2005. So these pictures and story been going around for a while. So if it's not true I hope that someone would have said so by now.

Now more to the point and what this thread is about. My opinion is it's ugly. Do you like it? Would you like more or less if you knew for sure they were real diamonds?

its not exactly ugly but its just tacky, however seeing a car like this would almost tempt me to take up car jacking at that moment.

Have you ever noticed Ford's weird choice of model names?
Probe, Excursion, Explorer, Ranger, etc.
If you put the word "ass" in front of a lot of them, they sound REALLY bad! :shock: :D

No, he didn't drive the Jetta then, the Probe didn't hit his car, the girl actually ran into him.

I saw one of those "Smart Cars" in town yesterday. Reminds me of something off of a Disneyland ride.

This thing?

Someone at my company has one... I just want to go and knock it over... it probably wouldn't take much... Just a few hard pushes.

Final designs are the results of many revisions and approvals--many people need to be slapped for that one!

That is because they have no mechanical skills. Only a checkbook.
They pay someone else to build it for them.
