I think I saw someone on MTV cribs (either some rapper or alt-punk guy) who had a Ferrari 360 Spider who did something similar to that. It looked awful.

Ah, here we go: http://www.bet.com/articles/0,,c3gb4797-5515,00.html

It was Master P. Apparently, he also has a "Gucci helicopter". Excerpt from this Q&A:


[*]Where did you get the car with the Louis Vuitton logo all over the body? I love that car.

The Louis Vuitton is the airbags I have. If I crash, I want to crash in style. I have a Gucci Ferrari and that was a fifty thousand dollar paint job. The car was four hundred and fifty thousand so that's half a ticket [million]. That's what I mean when I talk about being the ghetto Bill Gates and taking ballin' to another level.

Especially now that the forums can Auto Parse URLs. It's like you have to go out of your way to make it not be a link.

Of course some people have reported problems with the Auto Parse URLs feature not working.

Yup, that box is checked, which is why I asked what the checkbox was for. Isn't it supposed to do it automatically?

Why should it bother you? It's not like you were entitled to that money if he wasn't making it. If you could make that kind of cash legally by working to exploit a market that thrives on poor taste you probably would too. It's his money, he can spend it however he sees fit.

why should it bother me? well, because i'm in the middle of finals, sweating over a molecular bio final. i go to an ivy league school, have a high GPA. i've been working my a$$ off since middle school, and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. i will become a hard working american and possibly make some worthwhile contributions to society. yet i will never be able to drive a $500,000 car. such is my story, and i'm sure it resembles that of so many people in this country. i'm sure that they'll agree that it's not fair.


edit: like i said, i'm in the middle of finals. i probably wouldn't have given the post a second thought any other time.

That interior is butt ugly. Absolultey horrendous. Spend the money on buying a better car, not buying more brand name crap. Did I mention that it is some of the worst looking interior material I have ever seen?

Jason

Looking back on my post, I agree with myself. Those leather inserts are the most disgusting things I have ever seen attached to seats.

Why it cannot bother him? It kind of pisses me off how materialistic and ridiculous those people get sometimes. If I throw food to the trash can in front of a homeless he would be pissed too. I dunno if Master P donates to charity or stuff like like that but the way these people spend money is wasteful.

It might be wasteful, but it's their money to waste and they can afford it. And don't even say you wouldn't waste money like this if you could. If you were a millionaire, would you still drive a Honda Accord or would you go for the M5/AMG?

Anyways, I wish I had a link to one of Trick Daddy's cars. The entire soft top on it is LV.

You missed my point. I was saying that if we don't agree with something we can be pissed. Sure I would drive an M5 if I had the money, but this guy spent 50K on a paint job. Besides there are a lot of people richer than rappers who spent money in a wiser way (education I guess).

I remember also watching Vh1 that most Bentleys that rappers drive are sort of "loaned" to them for very little money as a way of advertising for the brand

um, i'm not complaining about master p wasting money. once it's his, he can do whatever he pleases. what bothers me is that our society is structured in such a way that it allows him to have all that money in the first place.
