I really don't understand the attraction with shiny objects that do nothing other than look nice, sorry.

mental to spend that much money on an ornament, id rather have the real car.

I don't think some one is going to buy it that has not already got the car.

Isn't the gold & Diamond ornament going to have a better investment potential?
Be lucky to get half for the car when you come to sell it.

Agreed. I work in Laura Ashley, and I see women daily come in and pay £50 for a pretend birdcage, or £100 for a vase. I think it's quite a feminine thing to do. Most men would seek more practical use of the money. Unless they're Tony Montana and have more money than they know what to do with, and so buy a model of something they have already.

The only reasonable side I see of this is that it maintain's it's value better than cash. But it's also easier to steal than 2 Veyrons.

I'd personally rather feed hundreds of starving families for a year or two. But if you'd rather have a pretend shiny car..

simple - having money does not equate to having good taste. Some of the vulgar tat I've seen bandied about by wealthy people is eye-wateringly cringeful.
