Jewelry company Burkitt & Burkitt has put together one-sixth scale models of various crystal-covered cars that you may one day see on the road (or at least in a rap video). The company recently previewed a model MINI encrusted with over 35,000 Swarovski crystals each individually placed by hand. The company is currently seeking sponsors and investors to help finance a full-scale vehicle in a theme of their choice. Gallery and video after the jump…

Can’t the Beatles sue? I would think the images and the “Rubber Soul” album logo are trademarked items. Please, Sir Paul, don’t let your images be linked with this sort of bling crap…..

Sure, it looks cool, but, if you were a millionaire who was actually stupid enough to buy a vehicle with hundreds of thousands of $ worth of crystals, wouldnt it be bad if some criminal came and took even a few of the valuable crystals off of your car, then your car would look ugly with the bling missing in a few spots! I’m sure they put them on the car with glue of some kind, but it wouldnt be that hard to take them off the car to steal them.

I find it hard to believe that they would actually want to market these. Im sure it would just be for show purposes only.

Looks like the DEA has developed rolling Wanted Posters. Turn up the bass to attract lookers and then mention the reward is more than the welfare they’re now getting.

here we go with the race thing. i’m mulatto, and black people, and generaly young people, like to have expressive designs that show off their success and personality. Nobody wants to be like a lower middle class accountant driving a beige base model I4 camry. Subtlety is for plebeians and WASPS.

lol, yeah #18… I’m black and I don’t know any African-Americans that like spinners…much less anything like that. However, I’m not going to deny that Afro-American stars do try too hard to be glamorous and probably will get paid to try and make this stuff “cool”.
