Re: Coinmaro, wtf

Creator Tarek Javid intends the car, named "Pride of the Emirates," to be a gift to the people of the small-but-wealthy political entity (Abu Dhabi and Dubai are two of those emirates) as it celebrates forty years since the British government packed and left the keys.

I don't get it. Why use a Camaro for this type of occassion? The car doesn't represent anything. It's neither Arab nor Brit.

He put more coins on that Camaro moreso than what its worth. Imagine taking this to the track with all that weight.

Re: Coinmaro, wtf

I found this paragraph the funniest to read:

"No word on what the car's current weight is, but there's a full twenty pounds of glue holding those coins in place so we can safely assume that the performance envelope has shrunken significantly. Also unclear is whether the son gave permission for this to be done in the first place. On the other hand, past the car's pricelessness as an objet d'art, the coins may have more than doubled its value."
