German police say gold Porsche is too shiny to drive
BERLIN — German authorities have ordered a blinged-out golden Porsche off the road for being too shiny.
Hamburg’s Morgenpost reported Friday the 31-year-old driver was stopped in the northern city last week and told his Porsche Panamera, sporting a reflective gold foil finish, might blind other drivers and was a danger.

He was told to remove the foil and re-register the car, but police say he continued to drive it.
Just goes to show there can be too much of a good thing.

The driver was stopped again Wednesday and police took his keys, papers and license plate, before the vehicle was towed to a garage. He was fined an unspecified amount and will have to remove the foil to make the car street legal again.
Morgenpost reports a Lamborghini owner nabbed at the same time with similar gold foil complied and removed it.
