The only thing that could make that classier is if they melted down the mercedes to make the statue.
Oh, and added LifeGem jewelry!
Dammit, why don't we run the world?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

holding hands and gazing into each other's eyes beneath a soaring albatross -- a symbol of eternity and good fortune.
While the albatross is probably very appropriate for this statue re: fame and the sad fate it inflicted upon the subjects, I've never heard of one being regarded as a symbol of good fortune.
