Did you see the photos of the 22 carat gold car unveiled in India today? Looks like a variation of a quilt.

Sorry, but I don't like it. lol

LoriEl 09-21-2011 01:13 PM

Oh my. I think I would like it better if it were a quilt!

QuiltnNan 09-21-2011 01:15 PM

wow, that's a lot of money to sink into half of a car :)

jljack 09-21-2011 01:18 PM

Obviously someone has too much money and too little sense!! What a waste!! It's not the too much money, it's how you use it that counts.

Sewfine 09-21-2011 01:18 PM

I do not like it. Just think how many people could have something to eat or a warm quilt to cover up with at night.

DogHouseMom 09-21-2011 01:20 PM

I read the article. They are basing the "value" of the car ONLY on the current price of bullion and the gem stones. In other words - the car itself has no value. No big surprise as currently they can't give the Nano away if they wanted to.

BTW - for those of you who don't know, the automobile manufacturer Tata also owns Jaguar and Land Rover.

So sad.

Couldn't he afford a bigger car? ha ha ha

valsma 09-21-2011 01:42 PM

Hope it is prettier in person than in picture. Since I couldn't afford it anyways guess my opinion wouldn't count. What a waste of a good car though.

nativetexan 09-21-2011 01:46 PM

and do we wonder why there are so many people there living in squalor? I certainly do. jeesh.

That is funny....

Pat P 09-21-2011 04:31 PM

YOU could do that in glizty fabric on a black background for a wall hanging!

sewnsewer2 09-21-2011 04:32 PM

Now that was smart, use a "smart car" so they didn't have to use as much gold. :lol:

blueangel 09-21-2011 04:43 PM

I don't like it.

Painiacs 09-21-2011 05:15 PM

Sad when so many r starving in that country!!!

fraydknot12326 09-21-2011 05:20 PM

Yep! Saw that ~ $1million value is what they said this morning!!! I agree .... total waste!! It could have helped a lot of folks!!!

ScrapQuilter 09-21-2011 05:27 PM

Some people have way to much money..... seems to me they could have put that money to a much better use. What a shame.

PatchGirl 09-21-2011 07:14 PM

Only in a place where poverty and starving children live would such an oxy-moron vehichle be made...

lpsewing 09-21-2011 11:05 PM

jahaper 09-21-2011 11:15 PM

Not pleasing to the eye.

leatheflea 09-22-2011 02:38 AM

Wow it does have that star thing that puts me in the mind of a quilt. Isnt that different, wonder what made them do this? Interesting?

heather1949 09-22-2011 03:14 AM

They should have used the money to feed the starving little children they have over there.

ConcreteSher 09-22-2011 03:55 AM

I can already hear my Ford F250 Super Duty truck just laughing away at this silly thing . . .

rosemarie34 09-22-2011 03:58 AM

I think it's a beautiful work of art...I would love to know who created it...it always amazes me how artistic people can be...

Normacharlie 09-22-2011 04:36 AM

Could I just have all the gold it took?

Jan,

I totally agree, expect mine would have pieces of grass sticking out all over it and it would get stuck dragging the bottom and my drive is not as long as yours.

I, for one, am glad tacky does not define who I am.
