    Gilded Shame: gold-trimmed Camry spotted in Dubai

    Taste: some have it, some don't. Case in point this Toyota Camry spotted in Dubai where the burgeoning middle class apparently wants to roll just like their oil-funded upper class but lack the money to secure a Rolls-Royce or Bentley. While we've reluctantly grown accustomed to customers opting for the gold-tone bright-wear instead of the standard chrome detailing - especially on cars like the Camry - this owner actually had the badges, grilles, side mirrors and wheels plated in 24k gold. Seriously.

    If this somehow strikes you as a good idea, it can be yours for only 135,000 Dollars. Thankfully those are Arab Emirate Dollars, worth about $37 grand in American greenbacks. But please, if you're even thinking about it, contact us first and let us convince you of all the better ways you could spend $37k on a new car that won't instantly lose half its value the minute you take a wrong turn into a bad neighborhood.

    That's nothing new. I see a whole bunch of these rolling around the ghetto neighborhoods. But I don't think it's real gold. LOL :D
