Question Mel Gibson...loves his RWD LS, and his RWD ?????

Mel Gibson -- Passion of the Cressida
Posted May 12th 2009 11:00AM by TMZ Staff

Mel Gibson tooled around Malibu yesterday without incident -- while behind the wheel of a classic, sky blue Toyota Cressida. In these rough economic times, even a guy worth $900 million can't afford to be flashy!

Love for the old school. Way to go Mad Max!

That's driving the pre-LS.

That's luxury back in the early 90's and he knew it . That thing is in mint condition. He must either really like Cressidas or it was his first car before making it big.

Nice to see him "slumming" aka "keeping it real" though. Can you picture Tom Cruise driving around in an 1980 Chevy Impala?!?

He could lose up to 1/2 of his $900 million to his wife, he can't afford not to be frugal ?

I wonder if he has/had a first generation LS too ? or did he own every LS that's been redesigned ?
