    • thehype2049, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1gold is not corrosive conducts electricity and is mailable very easily. its also why its valued at soo much.
  • the3seashells, on 07/05/2008, -0/+5The current rate of exchange for gold is 933.45 USD per 1 troy ounce (31.1034768 grams). Assuming exactly 40lbs was used, this amount of gold would have cost $544,512.50

    Given the worth of that amount of gold, I am slightly skeptical that such a valuable car would just be parked outside.
