Here since you're having trouble

The Chevy Corvette car and speedboat hybrid might be the slickest amphibious vehicle on the planet, but when it comes to campers, nothing compares to the luxury the Elemment Palazzo offers. The mere mention of campers and RVs invokes images of cramped living quarters that can house only your essentials. But the Elemment Palazzo with its lavish fixture and ornate designs obliterates that notion completely. As it should, what with a coronary-inducing price tag of $3 million.

That one worked for me. maybe too many hit it at once.

When it comes to the exterior side of things, you may or may not be glad to know (depending on how you feel about it) that the Palazzo is covered in glow-in-the-dark paint.

Coming up fine for me, every time. I mean, it's hosted by yahoo. Not exactly something you'd expect to get hosed by a few clicks from Fark.

Original link URL has "?farkingcool" at the end of it, which I wouldn't expect to cause problems...
But, subby, you don't need to do that anymore, I don't think. Fark will let you submit links that have already been submitted now.

Can you be cited for an open container with a bar like that? It's not like I'll ever have to worry about having something like that, but I have a feeling the overzealous cops around here would give you an open container citation if they ever pulled you over with a bar in your bus.

That is one of the ugliest and lowest-utility top-tier RVs I've ever seen. Seriously, that thing is uglier than a sizzling afterbirth, and most of the money went into bling. There are better multimillion-dollar RVs in the discount classifieds in the back of the Robb Report.

I guess you buy that if you have 2000-30000 million just lying around, several hundred of those types sucking the wealth from our society like a vampire sucks blood.

You can park in the Walmart parking lot overnight for free too.

Gat dang! That is one ugly sum biatch.

The inside looks good, but can't get past the outside. Just because you spent a lot of time designing/building it doesn't make it cool. Just because you spent more than I'll ever make on it doesn't make it cool.

Drove a '77 VW Campmobile (the bus with a pop-top camper) in college, and it was titled as a "Motorhome." At least in early 1990's Michigan that meant that open intoxicants were legal as long as the driver wasn't drinking. I have to believe similar exemptions still exist.

These look like artificial 3D renderings, I can tell from some of the vertices and having seen quite a few raytraces in my time.

In real life this monster has never been built and never will be.

I think it says more about the media's gullibility than the image creator's talent that this has been treated as a real product.

ambassador_ahab: I'm struggling to make the connection between this and voting against your own economic interests.

Lets ignore for a moment that when a leftist says "voting FOR your own interests" with respect to poor people what is meant is: Voting for a system which will lock you into your current social class as a matter of policy and not as a matter of resources, because it will also lock the rich into the same system. Its sheer spite as a political policy.

Ok, so we are ignoring the "if I cant have it neither can you" 4th grade mentality of leftists.... What we have left is the notion that if you are poor you should vote for a government that is going to give you more things for free. You are voting for your own economic class and against another economic class.

If I was employed by Marchi Mobile or one of its subcontractors, or a company that builds yachts, business/personal jets etc my economic self interests are different than what you might think.

If there was economic equality, nobody would be able to afford anything. Half the people on the planet are starving, naked and homeless. Economic equality would raise their standard of living slightly, and lower everybody else's to that level.

It comes with a special compartment with pop-out lawyer.

You can get a really nice Winnabago and a lifetime Camping World membership for that kind of money, and still have some left over for baloney sandwiches.

Economic equality is a complete bullshiat notion that would result in little to no progress, and an overall decline in standard of living. It's communism, and communism does not and never will work. Deal with it.

Opportunity equality is another thing. Everyone should have the opportunities to make a living for themselves. If you're a lazy smelly hippie who only wants to work 5 hours a week you can rot in a gutter. If you're intelligent and willing to work harder than most people, you can afford a $3M shaggin' wagon. But that would require a world class education system and access to top notch post-secondary education in addition to other things the US manages to completely fark up.

The problem in the US is that there are no more opportunities and the American dream is dead. It's just a shame that the OWS types are unable to articulate that.
