The Golden Arches: Gilded McMerc spotted in - you guessed it - Dubai

Redefining the term "enough is enough", the owner of this car is said to have had his SLR gold-chromed. The strangest part is that, according to reports, this is actually the same Mercedes SLR McLaren that was previously spied in Dubai with a silver-chrome treatment. We're not sure about the accuracy of this model considering it has a different rear spoiler, different wheels (which have also been gold-chromed) and darker taillight frame like those on later versions of the Anglo-Saxon supercar, not to mention a different license plate... although the car also reportedly belongs to the owner of a UAE license plate registry, so anything's possible.

The sad reality is that someone, whether it's the same guy or not, looked at a chromed McMerc and thought, Yeah, but what if it were plated in gold? Sure makes the gold-plated Veyron and Phantom DHC sent to the same region seem like the epitome of good taste.

If he wears a light colored Jubba it probably will be OK Dark Jubba - is gonna clash

Money can't buy taste, that's for sure.

He probably has a team of mechanics and 3 different sets of body panels that he orders changed based on how drunk he got the night before.......

I'll be looking for that when it comes up on Craigs list!
