However, the real reason to avoid a gold car like the plague is that it is considered a lucky color for the Chinese,  who are categorically the worst drivers on the road. I learned this firsthand while living in Rosemead,  CA. In that region, it was well known that Chinese homebuyers without much cash would buy their first home in El Monte, which is obviously a shlthole. Then, your next step was Rosemead,  where prices went up by 50%. If you moved there, you probably had auto insurance. The next step was nearby Temple City, (which was a cool million way back in 2012), and the final step was to buy a home in Arcadia or San Marino, where the current median home price is $2.6M. Everybody in the San Gabriel Valley avoided buying gold cars smelling of kimchi & whiskey; because they had zero maintenance,  been run into curbs, over speedbumps, and against parking lot walls.</blockquote>
