Silly me! And here all the time I was thinking the rise in the price of gold was due to criminal finance organizations and irresponsible governments.
Wow, I must say, it actually looks good! Unlike that golden Bimmer a few post back. I guess it depends on the car. THe Gallardo wears its new golden skin very well. You know, if you're rich from coal mines, wouldn't it makes more sense to paint your Gallardo coal-like matte black?
