What's with gold trim

Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw when I was 9 years old, during the 1964 presidential campaign. I thought it was very clever, and, apparently, memorable:

"AuH2O"

Any takers, with a chemistry background; or who are willing to date themselves??

 

It's something that i saw as a option in the accessory depart of the dealer....i think the gold only looks good on white, mines silver so pass....

 

Barry? Is that you?

 

In your heart you know he's right. The "2" needs to be a subscript.

 

My wife and I laugh about "The Gold Package" all of the time. It seems a certain type of people go for this look. Not my cup of tea and never will be (thank goodness).

 

Barry Goldwater that is?

 

Zen :first: & Jim :second: win this weeks 'Puzzla' ! :whoo:

 

It is an option. I got mine free as part of negotiating the sale. The gold package involves someone coming out to the dealership and painting the silver insignias etc. in gold metallic paint. I watched the gal do it. Next time, I will find something else to deal over and do the "gold package" myself. I must admit, it does look sharp on a black Prius, sets it apart from the crowd!

 

Hmmmm..........
That gold trim might be pretty sharp on black...

I thought that the gold trim package was only available with the vinyl landau roof!

 

I never realized it was an option. That's hilarious.

I always figured it was reserved for the higher-level trims on the rides most favored by ... uh, staid old people? E.g., Avalon and maybe Sienna. XLE, XLS, Limited, that sort of thing.

Stupid image-driven nation.

(Says the guy who is still pretty sure that the hybrid-only image of the Prius had little to do with his purchase thereof, certainly less than the geek factor and hatchback...)

 

One version aroungd the chemistry departments, was

Au + H20 => N.R.

P.S. Political note: In college we regarded him as the Devil. After the past few years of politics and government, he is beginning to look pretty tame.

 

I saw a new Corolla yesterday with the gold bling emblems. It seems bad taste is not limited to Prius owners.
