Car Culture Ego Scott Disick

SCOTT DISICK IS TRYING TO IMPRESS YOU

129596PCN_ScottKendall1cut

Of all the Kardashian klan, Scott Disick seems to be the biggest show-off. He loves to flash impossibly expensive cars wherever the paparazzi are in Beverly Hills. Yesterday he was seen for the second time in a Bugatti Veyron – these cars START at 1.7 million and with all the personal extras usually end up costing more than 2 million. What’s funny is that the car is ON LOAN from a Calabasas luxury car dealer. We wonder how Scott gets along with his brother-in-law Kanye – they both want to be the center of attention at all times.

Car Culture Ego Kanye West Kim Kardashian Security

OUT OF THE WAY! HERE COMES KANYE WEST IN HIS ARMORED CAR!

Kanye West’s colossal ego continues to amaze us. According to The Hollywood Reporter, West has ordered TWO armored vehicles for 1.2 million dollars each, with all the frills. (His and Hers?) We always thought that only popes, dictators, drug lords, and terrorists bought this type of SUV, so Kanye must think he’s awfully important. Frankly we have never heard of a celebrity shot in his car simply for being famous so why does Kanye feel the need for this protection? Maybe he has a beef with some gangster rapper, who knows…

Ben Affleck Car Culture Charity Poker

BEN AFFLECK’S CLASSIC CAR WON’T START

Ben Affleck will jump at any chance to play poker and not be criticized for it. In the past he lost a lot of money gambling in Las Vegas and other places, but this weekend he didn’t have to keep it quiet – it was all for a good cause. Ben and other actors, including poker-fiend Jennifer Tilly, attended a charity benefit for the Geffen Playhouse and each player paid $1250.00 for a seat in the poker tournament. Ben didn’t walk out a big winner and on top of that his vintage Chevy Malibu wouldn’t start! As Ben stood helpless, the valet had to give his car a jump start.

Accident Car Culture George Michael

GEORGE MICHAEL IS STILL GETTING HIMSELF INTO WEIRD SITUATIONS

This is the day for 80’s pop star stories. George Michael, who has a history of passing out in cars and DUIs is no longer allowed to drive. Does that keep him safe? No way. According to The Daily Mail, he was just hospitalized after FALLING OUT of the passenger side of a car going 70 mph on a highway in London! George’s friend who was driving, nonchalantly explained that the door was ajar and George was trying to close it properly when he fell out! Luckily, horrified drivers behind him swerved around George, who was lying on the road with a bloody face. He was airlifted to a hospital with a head injury but is said to be recovering nicely.

Car Culture Crimes and Misdemeanors Justin Bieber Spoiled

JUSTIN BIEBER: DON’T DRIVE A CHROME PLATED CAR IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE FOLLOWED!

Money and success are quickly turning Justin Bieber into an arrogant spoiled teenager who feels he is above the law. He started out pleading for fame on the internet and now that he got his wish, he takes it for granted. Recently he got a Fisker hybrid sedan from Ellen Degeneres, and had it chrome plated – we can only IMAGINE how it reflects the California sun into other drivers eyes. No stranger to paparazzi, Justin was driving his new car on the freeway when he noticed several vehicles full of photographers following him. Not threatening him, just quietly FOLLOWING him. What did he do? He called 911 to report to police that he was being “chased.” Imagine wasting the 911 emergency workers’ time with THAT! (Isn’t that a crime?) Justin also stepped on the gas until he was speeding at between 80 and 100 miles per hour and started darting in and out of lanes in a crazy joyride, supposedly trying to lose the paps, while endangering the lives of other drivers. Let’s clear this up: photographers follow celebrities, hoping to catch a shot when they arrive somewhere. There’s a big difference between following and being CHASED with a threat or a weapon. Justin is behaving like a petulant and egocentric child star. Maybe that’s why Selena Gomez seems to be cooling off toward him.

Car Culture Justin Bieber Undercover

JUSTIN BIEBER DOESN’T KNOW THE MEANING OF THE WORD “SUBTLE”

#justinbieber #janetcharlton



Justin Bieber is making a big deal out of trying not to be noticed as he picks up a sandwich at Subway. The baseball cap doesn’t help but we do love his sweatpants featuring pockets with dollar bill print lining. His attempt to keep a low profile is completely blown when he gets into his CHROME-PLATED car.

Cadillac Car Culture Dita Von Teese Vintage

DITA VON TEESE’S TASTE IN CARS MATCHES HER WARDROBE

We’re huge fans of Dita Von Teese’s vintage style, but we have to confess her car is the big attraction in this photo. Dita showed up for an appointment in Los Angeles in this dark green classic Cadillac with perfect whitewalls. She looked great in her high waisted pedal pushers but we can’t take out eyes off that shiny car…

Car Culture Goggomobil

WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS IS MORE GOGGOMOBILS

We couldn’t help falling in love with the sweet 1959 Goggomobil featured in Collector’s Weekly. Less that 67,000 of these German microcars were produced between 1957 and 1969. They’re ten feet long, have a two cylindar engine with a top speed of 52 MPH, BUT they get between 50 and 55 miles to the gallon! That leaves Smart cars and Mini Coopers in the dust! Note the two tone paint job and artistic use of chrome – not to mention the suicide doors. A guy named Justin Pinchot made this video about his new acquisition, and wonders why Detroit can’t come up with a vehicle as cute and thrifty as this one. Jay Leno must be licking his chops.

Car Culture Pink Pregnant

PINK HAS TEMPORARILY TURNED INTO ANOTHER PERSON

Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

Hold everything! Aunt Marcia just arrived in her Chevy Impala and she’s hungry for some barbecued ribs! Just kidding. Actually this is pregnant popstar Pink, and her new look DOES remind us of mid-western aunts arriving for fun in the sun. Of course, the high flying Pink will be back in shape and spinning on a trapeze before we know it.

Car Culture Lady Gaga Luc Carl

LADY GAGA KEEPS HER BOYFRIEND – AND HERSELF- HAPPY

Lady Gaga tweeted this photo of herself and a sweet ride she calls “Ginger.” No explanation, but we’re wondering if it has anything to do with her boyfriend Luc Carl. He’s been accompanying her on her Monster Ball Tour around the world and she says they always have separate hotel rooms so she can maintain her “creativity.” It definitely looks like a vehicle he could sink his teeth into.
