    Well, small minds are pleased by trifles, to borrow from Ovid.


    Tiny children, jackdaws, packrats, bimbos and himbos, bowerbirds--they all just love shiny things. The shinier, the better.

    I, for one, support the Premier League salary caps. But then again, we wouldn't be having such interesting conversations on Jalopnik without those crazy footballers.

    Yet another person taking one of the most hideous-in-stock-trim cars ever built, and making it even more soul-scarring. Great.


    I'm waiting for the owner of my company to get his AMG CL and CLS chromed, at this point.

    I imagine the owner of a chromed SLR discusses the size of his penis in the same terms the rest of us use to discuss our belly buttons: "innie" or "outie"?

    There's a lot I don't understand about Association Football, but I'm glad to see that pro-athlete tastelessness knows no country.

    Am I safe to assume that if someone slightly bumps one of these while they're driving it, it goes into a 3 block barrel roll?

    @Skunky: Well, footballers (of either kind) are a slightly different breed who tend to branch out of what they should stick to doing (kicking footballs) and into what is probably best left to people here.


    Much the same with Rappers. I'm looking at you, dawg.

    What would ever make you think rappers don't know anything about cars... you never heard E-40s "Muscle Cars"? Cause I don't know about you, but when I think of muscle cars, 90s "Chavels", 80s "Cuts" and Caprice Classics with 300inch rims are the first things that come to my mind.

    Henry, Makelele, Gallas are all known for being car nuts, but Djibril Cisse is probably the most extreme car nut:


    I never said he had good taste.



    Of course, the only reason they can afford those is because they played in the English Premiere League

    No, I think the only thing that would keep them from approaching such a car would be the fear the reflection from the car would make them look fat.

    @Deartháir: i thought it would be a great trap for them both. paris would pose in the reflection, or just be transfixed by "all of the shiny." lohan would see it as the biggest, most expensive mirror ever and bust out the private stash.
