      @@theautomotive5639 Shrewd often infers at another's expense. In this video he states that given the depression, the rapper's inability to pay the bill and the shortage of demand for the vehicle he knew he could push him to low a price. Some vehicles were going for $80k. He later sold it for a $20k profit.

      Love the story! A nearly identical spec car almost killed me one day. Gentlemen came into the shop and wanted a nav system installed, ‘‘twas the first time I had seen a Ferrari in real life and I got to drive it into the shop after a little education on how the clutch system worked. Needless to say my day was going great, upon picking up his car, seeing my enthusiasm he asked if I wanted ride. It wasn’t until we were doing around 140mph weaving in and out of cars through downtown Nashville that he pulled a bottle of vodka out of his pocket and took a big swig. Interestingly I wasn’t scared until that moment, at first I just thought this is how you drive when you have a Ferrari lol

      Flanva if it’s Atlanta you could probably narrow it down to 50-100 rappers

    Wow I remember that I was 11 when the 360 came out, and I totally disliked the look! Even back then, I was like this has nothing on the 308GTB or the GTO. Fast forward 20 years later, I still think the same. Later when the Enzo came out it blew my mind, but the GTB is my fave since I saw it in Magnum P.I.

    So the guy in the 328i with the fake M badge on it pulls up next to me and I go: "Take that badge off of there right now, or I'm calling the cops!"
