Random: You Can Afford a Celebrity Car
Posted June 28, 2008 11:50 AM
After reading a recent top-ten list on celebrity cars we can all afford, I decided to blog on it. Guys love cars. I'm no exception to that rule. I also found myself in some disagreement as to what they consider a "celebrity car." I personally don't find the Ford F150 full size pick up truck a high profile ride. Though I know there are umpteen ways to trick it out with rims, faring, lowering kits, etc. Still, not a show stopper in my book. They were right on the money with the Toyota Prius, however. Sure, it's a cheap car to make, but the technology is topical, and important, and hell, Larry David made the car a co-star on his TV series, so the cool factor runs high with the hybrid that gets nearly 50 miles per gallon.
One of the cars that I know is a possible "celebrity ride" drives me nuts, and that's the Chrysler 300 Series. It's like the engineers at Chrysler said, "Hey, let's make a car that sort of looks like a cheap-o version of a Bentley and we'll confuse everyone! Plus we'll make it for under $42k fully loaded! We're brilliant!" Well, you don't fool me. I smell that jalopy coming from a 1/4 mile away. Try taking that hunk out on the slalom and see how it does. Can you tell, I'm not a big fan?
