Celebrity Car Owners and Their Pimped Out Rides

People are always interested at keeping abreast of what their favourite celeb is wearing to the oscars, which restaurant they are dining in and gossip on who they are dating. For the car fanatics what is the celebs latest ride whilst cruising around the streets in blacked out windows usually trying to stay anonymous. However a driving experience is one hobby which many celebrities will tell you is all for showing. Just watch MTV cribs and you will see many stars devoting a large section of their grounds to their beloved super flashy, turbo charged top marques cars. From Lamborghinis to old classic numbers such as the unique Mercedess SSK as driven by Sammy Davis Junior as published on several major second hand car retailers the public can have the chance to buy the stars cars. These vehicles will often go for well over the market value, there is something impressive to say...'this was Brad Pitts car', we would guess most of the people queing up to bid would be from the female side, vice versa if it was the likes of Megan Fox.



When watching these celebrity style programs the Hummer vehicle seems to crop up often. The Hummer brand has always created mass urban appeal, looking back from when the Hummer H2 first came into production in the US in 2003 it instantly became the must have vehicle to have in a celebrities posession taking less than two years to infiltrate the world wide export market and create a cult audience in which it still serves today. What many owners enjoy about the Hummer is to have the capability of customising it to their preference. There are several body kits out there, then there are tons of choices on alloy rims ranging from the general 18" literally up to the likes of 36" as seen on 50 cents black Hummer showcased in the Dub car shows around America.

Lets face it, celebrities arent seen driving Volvo's, many want to stand out and will pay to great lengths in order to purchase rare one offs or beat the market and buy new cars which have massive waiting lists. Many manufacturers will be more than happy to offer preview deliveries to the stars, some no doubt wil get paid once hitting A List status. We are now seeing a big shift where celebrities want to be seen supporting eco friendly practices, there are more and more cars now being developed which are friendlier to environment whilst having the power and styling of a super car. Just take a look at some of these prototype eco super cars and you will see just how far advanced the car manufacturers are looking ahead...Jaguar C-XC, Ignacio Garcia M-112 and Jay Lenos designed Eco-Friendly Supercar entitled the eco jet.
