Finally, a reason to bomb the Middle East.

Any country that would allow this to be done to a Maserati probably needs a regime change:

pimp pimp, hooray

Are you kidding? If I got out of there in a floor-length fur coat and a wide-brimmed fedora, and a foxy lady in the passenger seat handed me an ivory topped cane, I'd get arrested for the crime of freshness.

I can't imagine any self-respecting American pimp rolling in a Burberry check-covered Maser. A yob from Croydon, OTOH? This is his life's goal.

Ah, but how do you feel about Crown Prince al-Waleed's diamond-encrusted Mercedes?

[flainn]

And I know Snopes busted it. It's just an email I got from my dad, ranting about oil prices ("You paid for this car!")

Send him a picture of this Maserati and let him know the Brits are pissed off, too.

It seems the owner is a 20-year-old, most likely the son of a local sheik or something.

Chavtastic! Somebody should put that poor car out of its misery, just torch the thing. Nothing deserves that.

...ok, maybe an MGF does, but not a Maserati...

I've always thought it would be kind of cool to have a madras car...but that is really ugly. Of course I think anything Burberry is ugly, even umbrellas and those nasty little purses.

I think a Burberry interior might make sense and could be done tastefully (not in an Italian car, though--it would have to be a Jag or an Aston Martin). But this is just nine ways wrong.

Burberry became so strongly identified with the chav lifestyle in the UK that I think it's affected their product offerings and marketing.
