The name Ferrari shall explain a rather strange happening. From very reliable sources, we have heard that the last F430 from brand Ferrari is all set for auction even before it actually comes out of the workshop later this year. Apparently, last week the car company gave the rights of the last unit in the popular car model in reference to RM auction, which will be sending all proceeds to the earth-quake stricken Abruzzo region.
The last F430 will be an ode to the tremendous loss of humanity during the massive earthquake that hit Italy on March 30. And that is why; the car will be embellished with a special gold and silver paint scheme that symbolize the traditional colors of Aquila, the city hardest hit by the natural disaster.

Wanting to have Golden eyes? Here you go! The timeless Wayfarer from Italys super lately got blessed with a golden touch from Zeiss lenses. Featured above is a limited edition of the handcrafted frames that hold gold mirror lenses. The “24K Gold Lenses” available in a black and a white frame fail to gather my attention as I would love to go with plain frames and also dont have enough dough to take pride in holding one. Like I always say, luxury never comes cheap and hence the lenses here also know their worth and therefore demand $18,165. Sure thing, for carrying such glitzy lenses one needs to have bold personality as well!
