A car clock for DF

[kenny]

It adds only US $160,000 to the price of the car.
What a bargain.

I'd halo it.

Judging from this pic I'd guess the clock's diameter (near the top right between the AC vents) is around 3 inches.
The length of the halo spread out in a straight line would need to be a bit larger than the clock since the center of the diamonds is not at the edge of the clock.

Back to high school geometry:
Circumference = 2 Pie R
Radius is half the diameter.

2 x 3.14 x 1.5" = 9.4" or 240mm
So, let's say 275mm will be the length of the halo.

One $88,000 2-ct D IF ACA (they simply MUST be D IF ACAs) has a diameter of 8.2 mm.
240 divided by 8.2 = 34.
So, DF's new clock halo needs around 34 of those.

$88,000 x 34 = $2,992,000

THREE MILLION DOLLARS????

Bryan, would you take 2.5 mil and a beer?
If you say no we're going to Jonathan at Good Old Gold to commission a halo of 2 ct D IF Octavias.

This reminds me of the Lykan Hypersport, a $3.4mil supercar that has Diamond, Ruby and Sapphire encrusted lights.

Not sure I would pay that much money for a car with a straight 6 motor, let alone the issue of the doors wobbling on their stays when open...

Does it adjust automatically for Daylight Savings Time?

That feature is a million dollars extra.

Maybe billionaire Lau will buy it for his 7 year old daughter and halo it with his FCDs.
