3Dog's wife's ride--both cars are very nice and clean! Mine's just like yours (w/o the spoiler) but in black and regular 17" silver rims.

thank you

i've known you were burnished gold from your signature for a while.

i didn't want this color at first. but it has really grown on me. the metal flakes won me over.

is yours metal flake also? i wonder how many other colors are in metal flake?

in certain light i think it looks more chocolate color than gold

everyone tells my wife and me they like the gold better than the silver, which really blew me away. i figured silver would be more popular.


both gold and silver stay clean looking longer than darker colors

That's why I have silver and gold cars too. So much salt and sand here during the winter, darker colors get dirty too fast.

The funny thing about me is, during my car search, I'd pretty much decided that ANY color was fine (exept for that other gold-just not me). But I went to test drive a gold 300, and it was clean, and placed directly under the lamps, and the metal flake really got me!!! they all have the flake, and the more you polish, the more it shows up!!!

I also like the fact that is a rarely modded color!! I found a Spectra Blue one and didnt want to even buy it!!!! (with the Blue Beauty we have rolling around here!! LOL)

burnished metallic desert gold.

so i guess it is supposed to mean that it has been baked by the heat of the hot desert sun. it looks like gold flakes in the paint

You and your wife both have very good taste in cars!

It looks like you have painted the calipers on both cars to match, right?
