    So if you key this car, your key will be damaged and the car will be intact, right? Right? #koenigseggccxr

    Isn't diamond dust just an industrial abrasive? You can be diamond-dust-encrusted saw blades for less than ten bucks a piece. Besides, either the pics don't do it justice or it really isn't very effective. #koenigseggccxr

    I can't believe I referenced that exact picture with the same idea and didn't notice that the website hosting the Google Image searched picture was already proceeding with that plan. I'm sure it'll be worth every penny of that estimated $12,000 or so. #outrun

    What's the black tongue poking out of the front of the car in picture #8? It looks like a black stretcher board for carrying an injured passenger from the (upcoming) wreck. #koenigseggccxr

    Pah. Carbon Fiber coated in diamond dust is nothing. Now if they could build the body out of Aerogel and paint it in moondust, then I might toss out the 5 mil. For that price the manual better be printed over a Gutenberg Bible. #koenigseggccxr

    I really like this Koenigsegg, even though the diamond dust is so subtle. If you got it, flaunt it, like this Mercedes. #koenigseggcccxr

    @skaycog: At the LA Auto Show, underground level where unsavory displays are confined to.

    Hmmm. After much exhaustive internet research, this particular car is apparently only worth $1 million and is covered with Swarovski crystals. You don't think a Saudi Prince is going to let them ship his car around at trade shows, do you?

    "Hot on DUB Magazine's Custom Auto Show & Concert tour is this million dollar car, Garson / D.A.D's crystal-encrusted Mercedes-Benz SL 600. 300,000 Swarovski crystals are attached to the exterior of the body while it sits on 20" rims. You can catch this car at the Los Angeles and San Diego shows. Garson USA will also be on site selling some of their hottest items." #koenigseggccxr

    @Pessimippopotamus: Thank you for your time in researching this. Swarovski crystals are lovely, but not to the tune of $1 million. I think it's pathetic to cover cars with any kind of objects, although it makes for entertainment here. Thanks again! #koenigseggccxr

    Is there copyright protection on Helter Skelter then? Just as well. Doesn't strike as the kind of ride either McCartney or Manson would rock. #customcars
