Off Topic--1,600 hp -This Is Not Stainless Steel

From an email I received.


Recession? What recession?
So, it seems that this "global recession"
has not impacted negatively on everyone.
Check this out!
It's a Mercedes Benz owned by an Abu Dhabi
oil billionaire (naturally).

Featuring the newly developed V10 quad turbo
with 1,600 horsepower and 2800nm of torque
0-100km/h in less than 2secs, 1/4 mile in 6.89 secs
running on biofuel.

That is NOT stainless steel, people, it is WHITE GOLD!
I'm sure you'll sleep better tonight, knowing that the
exhorbitant dollars you're paying for gas these days are
at least going to a good cause...

There's a few websites that published the same thing, but I can't seem to verify the V10.

Good God, every time I see one of those cars from the Middle East I think of that saying, "Money can't buy taste."

On the bike yes but that car is too much. I am going to start telling people the chrome trim on my exterior is white gold because of this

You can probably add "doesn't have that engine, those turbos, etc." to your post.
