Haha, do a google search for Chrome M3. I believe that's the car that started the craze.

Actually, no it isn't. This is an urban legend that has been around for a while (since about 2005).

Default pardon me..

really not kool for calling me a bonehead.....i read what i thought was a legit article on the car....now i read the snopes article and i agree the article i read was obviously incorrect......on the otherhand would we really be all that surprised if it was really silver or hell even gold....they have enough of our cash to do it if they want......i cant wait til we pave the entire region
