Finally some good old fashioned Bling after all those pinkies of lately. Here we have a very fine super-bling Smart Convertible thing, I cannot call it a car, that lives in the great city of Guangzhou in Guangdong Province. The Smart is wrapped in silver and got some racy wheels.

Mercedes-Benz sells the Smart in China since 2010. It hasn’t been a great success since Chinese people don’t see the point in a ~~car~~ thing that can only carry two, except when it is an exotic sportscar. The Smart is expensive as well, price starts at 115.000 yuan and ends at 225.000 yuan for the maniac 75kw Smart Brabus, which indeed is the only good Smart.
