Arsenal defender William Gallas Chrome Mercedes McLaren
Obviously The Poor Economy Isn't Hurting Athletes In The Least
Man, I don't even know where to begin with this one. What if I told you that in this economy, with people getting let go from their jobs every day, Arsenal defender William Gallas decided to buy himself a Mercedes McLaren, the fastest production car in the world.

And what if I told you that while some people think that chrome rims are ostentatious, especially on a McLaren, Gallas believes that chrome rims aren't ostentatious enough.

So what am I getting at here? How about this. Gallas decided to chrome his entire McLaren. Yes, the whole damn car is chromed out. Are you freakin' kidding me?


Good lord, is that even legal? Something tells me that anything that comes within a half mile of that monstrosity on a sunny day will be blinded for life.

By the way, the car's base price is almost $500,000. Chromed out it's gotta be, well, frankly I don't know. Primarily since I've never seen an entirely chromed out car. But it's gotta be around $600,000 when it's all said and done.

Glad to see that pro athletes are buckling down during these tough economic times. Word is Gallas originally intended on buying a 45-foot solid gold yacht but instead settled for this little toy. Way to be thrifty, my friend.

The Bugatti Veyron is now the fastest production car in the world, but it's ass-ugly.  That McLaren SLR is hot.  That kind of chrome job probably cost a good 200k.

What will be sad is a month from now when we hear how he wrapped it around a bridge support while driving 204 mph on the Autobahn.

Honestly, if I had money like that I'd probably do the same thing. You can't take it with you.

Yeah but there are only a handful of SSC Aero's out there.  They should be called the World's Fastest "Limited" Production car. :)
