ஆனால் யானைகளை பற்றி!
WEALTHY Indians have taken on a tusk force to pimp their ELEPHANTS.
The mega-rich have turned to a different type of blinged-up travel because roads are too pot-holed for flash cars.
The massive mammals have taken the place of supercars and owners are having them pimped-up — Indian style.
In the northern city of Jaipur, the beasts are kitted out in solid gold helmets and jewel-studded scarves, and paraded around the city in 'fleets' of up to 40.
Elephant pimper Ravindra Dholakia said: "People think they have made a success of themselves.
"You won't get the chance to drive your Ferrari or you Bentley here though because it would get stuck in a rut every five metres, so rich people decorate their elephants and ride them around instead."
Spas
And specially trained groomers are being taken on to wash the nellies - which can weigh up to five tons - at elephant spas.
The beasts are given special massages and have oils rubbed into their skin to give them a healthy glow.
The rejuvenating retreats are reportedly vital for keeping the elephant in shape when the high life gets a bit much.
At the Jaipur Elephant Spa the jumbos are treated to a full range of luxuries such as full body massage, facial and trunk scrubs, and pedicures for their feet.

And it is so popular there are no slots for "elephant retreats" until summer 2011.
Resort owner Pottu Amman says the craze has blown out of all proportion.
Mr Amman said: "We are very busy. Anyone who is anyone in Jaipur wants to send their elephants to us.
"We now cater for up to 50 elephants per day.
"Most elephants stay for two days but sometimes their owners have exhausted them so much by taking them on parades they need a full week here.
"It's a work hard, play hard, life for these elephants."
