Not surprisingly, they all seem to like big cars

When I was was a kid, I saw a Lambo in Century City with the driver's seat removed. I peeped into it curiously & the valet attendant came over & told me it belong to a basketball star (forgotten the name - it's probably Magic, but not 100%, I remembered a "son" in the name,but he probably said Earvin Johnson, & I probably didn't even know Earvin=Magic then. I wasn't a basketball fan then, not a big fan even now)

Antoine has quite a collection, he needs a bigger garage. I guess when you make that much a year a $60 to $70k car is not much. Even a $300k bentley is not much. I wonder how many of them are planning for the future and how many will end up broke?

Good. I never liked the design of the H2. Now they will probably pimp the new H3

I guess this is why you never see them with exotics, they're too tall for them.

Oh and yes that LA Clipper one looks very much dated (EXT with 22's) thats so completed and done.
