INXS: Gold Bugatti Veyron Hits Streets of Kuwait

gold_bugatti_veyronjpg

Hey, if I had a shitload of oil money, I’d probably make everything from my kid to my dog to my iPhone gold-plated. Such is the case in Kuwait, where some rich motherfucker owns a $1.75 million Bugatti Veyron. As you’re probably well aware, the Veyron is the creme de la creme of street legal automobiles. This time, it’s kicked up about 100 notches with a gold paint job that makes it look absolutely stunning. In fact, it’s so stunning, the car “requires” a $10,000 detail job and “is stored in a climate-controlled atmospheric chamber inside the garage.”

A bit too much, even for a sultan. Right? I’ll stick with my gold-spraypainted Geo Tracker thank you very much.

Gold iPhone 3G Hits eBay Circuit

24karatgoldiphone_x6drf_12

Recession? What recession?

This 24-karat gold iPhone 3G has made its way onto the auction site eBay in hopes that it’ll draw a high bid. While I don’t doubt it will, whoever ends up winning must not be affected by the current economic crisis. You can buy it now for a mere $1016.72, which is pennies for people like Bill Gates and Bernie Madoff. There’s even a gold Apple logo on the back of the device for good measure.

Albert Einstein’s Watch On The Cheap

Who would have thought that a watch belonging to one of the most brilliant minds in history, Albert Einstein, would go for so cheap? This Swiss watch owned and operated by the famous patent clerk, himself, will be sold at an auction next month and could earn around 20,000 to 30,000 dollars.  That’s pretty cheap considering its previous owner.  There’s nothing special about the 14-carat gold watch in design, but it’s got Einstein’s name on it. That alone should attract many interested buyers.

Maxis’ Spore Has Gone Gold

I sure hope you’ve tried out that creature creator for the upcoming Spore, otherwise you’re going to be left in the dark. Having to settle for randomly generating creatures simply because you weren’t creative enough to come up with your own does not please Will Wright. After all, the full game is just around the corner. That’s right, Spore has gone gold, meaning the code has been completed and it’s ready for the slated September 7th release!

You can either pick up your Galactic Edition or just get the regular version like any other normal kid who cares not for precious art books and behind the scenes footage. Oh and Mac users (for once) get a Maxis game that’ll ship on the same day as the PC version. Spore is changing the world in more ways than one.

Gold Samsung YP-Z5 replaces silver spoon for newborns

samsung yp-z5 gold To all of you soon-to-be-parents: that pretty silver rattle isn’t going to cut it anymore. Your newborn is quickly going to be begging for their own limited edition Samsung YP-Z5 which will soon be auctioned off. Why you might ask? Well, this MP3 player is made of 18 karat gold and only 10 have been made. Samsung is currently expecting them to go for 120,000 won each (only about $130, maybe something is lost in translation). The YP-Z5 model has been out for almost a year now, but even for its nice-looking design and helpful firmware updates, it really hasn’t won many users over.
