[/div]"We thought 50 Cent's [a  href="http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/03/02/50-cent-puts-chrome-finish-on-mur-ci-el-ago/"]chrome-covered[/a] Lamborghini Murcielago was pretty flashy, but even it can't compare to this. Reader Jacob sent us photos that show a diamond-covered Mercedes SL-Class on display at an auto show overseas. We're not sure if the diamonds are real, but either way it looks pretty outrageous. Whether or not that's a good thing is up to you. We suspect [a  href="http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/04/28/tgif-mercedes-slr-doors-give-paris-hilton-a-hard-time/"]Paris Hilton[/a] might be a fan.

Curious to know your thoughts on downtown Vancouver, Kitten

Not fond of it at all.  I don't like the hustle and bustle and crowds of people on the sidewalks.  I try not to think of the downtown East Side.    I like the skyline at night, but would much rather view it from the top of Burnaby Mountain.  It really is a beautiful city, I just don't feel comfortable there any more.

I agree with you entirely. The rest of the city's fine - but downtown? Not for me at all.
