MERCEDES-BENZ INTRODUCES SOLID GOLD S430 LUXURY SEDAN
STUTTGART, GERMANY — Citing their commitment to provide consumers in today's ailing global economy with the very best in luxury automobiles, DaimlerChrysler subsidiary Mercedes-Benz announced today it will offer a solid gold S430 touring sedan in model year 2003.

With a curb weight of just over 87 tons and an MSRP of $462,744,999, the S430 SGE (Solid Gold Edition) will be available exclusively to qualified buyers in Silicon Valley, Monaco, Montreal, and Saudi Arabia. In addition to the S430's standard 62-speaker Bose audio system, 22-position GPS-calibrated reclining heated leather seats, and lifetime supply of exotic swimsuit models or covert secret agents, the SGE will feature the powerful Pratt & Whitney V2500 dual-induction jet engine, capable of accelerating the monolithic vehicle from 0-60mph in just 36.2 seconds, and sustaining highway speeds up to 45mph.

Improving Mercedes' industry-leading automotive safety systems, SGE engineers touted the benefits of the sedan's solid gold body panels, claiming the soft metal will better absorb energy during a collision, and can later be easily hammered or smelted back into it's original shape.

Hey, good one! I thought this was dead serious at first. I'm sure there are people in the world who would actually jump on this. Sad--to those of you who have $462,644,999 to drop on a car like this, feel free to throw me $25K so I can get a used '97 BMW 528i. That would make me really happy!

Seriously, very funny.

hmmm....that guy has a nice collection of cars. But you know who else has a nice collection of cars? Saddam's oldest son!! He has a gold-plated convertible rolls-royce!! He also has about at least 100 roll-royces. His biggest collection I believe is Benzes eheheh Plenty of S600's that's all I know. He has about every car that sultan of brunei has....well not the special made ones but most of other exotics! Just thought I'd share!
