The Golden Porsche


In Russia they drive in solid gold covered Porsche cars. More than 40 pounds of the pure gold was used while decorating this particular car.


 

Russian Gold Reserve

Historically, gold holds its value and is the experts’ pick for diversifying your portfolio and potentially increasing its performance. In fact, gold has increased in value over 150% since 2001. As opposed to equities, which can go from very high levels down to zero in a very short time, gold is never going to zero. When other markets collapse, gold has historically seen huge increases in value as people make a quick flight to quality. Gold investing allows individuals to accumulate assets that protect their wealth.

Engraving lathe puts marking on a bar with “four nines”- 99,99% pure (State Standart 28058-89) at “The Gulidov Krasnoyarsk Non-Ferrous Metals Plant”. “Four nines” is the highest purity of gold bar which is economic to produce for the investment market. Only scientific market would not anything of greater purity, and the production costs would increase disproportionately.

Russian Gold Coated BMW

Meet gold coated BMW M5 from Moscow, Russia.
All right we might not have enough dope on it right now, but the car has everyone’s head spinning. We are talking about the gold plated BMW M5 working wonders on the roads of Moscow. Well, we are not surprised because didn’t we get to see a gold-plated Porsche from Russia only!

So far the car is a real mystery, maybe that is just another reason why it is generating so much buzz. Some might think it is nothing but a vulgar display of money because of the yellow shine all over the body of the car
, but then no one’s ignoring it. In fact, ‘English Russia’ reports that once a gold plated Porsche (maybe it’s the same one we talked about in para one) was hijacked in a busy Moscow street.

Well, these things happen when you are trying to grab everyone’s attention with your moolah. All we can say is watch out BMW M5 gold-plated car guy because we really don’t like to say, “We told you so.”
