May 25, 2010. Imagine Lifestyles took one of its luxury rental cars under the bright lights of Hollywood for a commercial shoot in Lincoln Park. Shooting off of Lincoln and Belden late last night, the Imagine Lifestyles Range Rover rental SUV stole the show. Actors, director, and producer were all very impressed with the luxury vehicle and we are looking forward to working together again in the very near future.

To all my late-night television-loving fans, I have a bit of news on Conan O’Brien. Amid much controversy and media frenzy, Conan seems to be stabilizing into his new network and timeslot, and apparently new living situation.
Upon finding his new home on television, at TBS, Conan has been marketing his luxury digs in order to literally find a new home, closer to the office I presume. Conan’s luxury home on New York’s upper west side is reportedly in the closing stages for a sale of nearly $30 million. This comes on the heels of Conan pocketing $32 million when he left NBC’s “The Tonight Show”, under acrimonious terms, so I guess you could say the man is not doing to shabby in the financial department.

A rather gaunt and wild-haired self-portrait of the famed artist, filmmaker, producer and author Andy Warhol fetched an impressive $32.6 million at a New York auction this week, at around twice the presale estimate.
While it is certainly steep, this is not the highest price ever paid for a Warhol painting. His 1963 piece, ‘Eight Elvises’ went for a cool $100 million. In the art world, few artists ever hit the $100 million benchmark. Artists that have include the likes of Pablo Picasso, Gustav Klimt, Jackson Pollock,Willem de Kooning and of course, Andy Warhol. I am thinking I could buy a luxury yacht or a few hundred luxury rental cars for the price of that Warhol painting.

I was watching a bit of Goldfinger the other day, which led to me inevitably fantasizing about luxury cars. That thought train of course drifted to the Aston Martin. Oh how I love 007 and exotic cars.
The Aston Martin Vantage convertible is the perfect warm weather luxury car rental. While we have a couple of Aston Martin rentals, I do see them around Miami on occasion, and I also not the amount of heads turning when I do. I guess 007 feels no need to be discreet while perusing around chasing danger in his luxury cars. When I drive our Aston, I sometimes pretend that I am he, on a secret mission…but then some valet abruptly removes me from said delusion and I am transported back to a South Beach restaurant or event. Sigh.

It seems that Microsoft co-founder and former Charter Communications chairman Paul Allen is looking to unload his super yacht, “Tatoosh”, for the bargain price of about $162 million bucks.
This super luxe super yacht has a bit of an intriguing history. It was originally built for mobile phone mogul Craig McCaw at Rendsburg in Deutschland by Nobiskrug, and completed in 2000. It was designed and built by Kusch Yachts.

He needed a slap upside the head. And he got one from the head honcho of the NFL.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback and two–time Super Bowl winner, Ben Roethilsberger, was slapped with a six–game suspension by the NFL on Wednesday for not complying with the league’s personal conduct policy. It stems from a second incident in two years involving allegations of sexual misconduct.

Ok so we all know that the Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder that starred in the film “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” was a bit thrashed up during the process of filming.
Yet, a replica of the 1961 250 GT just fetched an impressive $122,000 at Bonham’s in London on Monday, managing to exceed the auction house’s pre-sale estimate of $45,000-$60,000. Just another testament to the power of a classic luxury car.

Be careful with what you agree to do with your luxury car, it could come back to bite you. Such seems to be the case with former racecar driver Reginald “Don” Whittington, who allegedly lent his Porsche 935 K3 to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum, did so on a handshake. The museum, however, claims Whittington gave the Porsche to them.

Audi is not only a super sophisticated luxury car, it is apparently also one with an attitude, as was made apparent by the Audi R8 being selected to appear in the highly anticipated “Ironman” movie. Ahh…gearheads and geeks alike will be clamoring see the remake of this classic film with a comic strip background.
Yes, just a few days ago it was announced that the luxury carmaker would be supplying cars for the Iron Man movie. Billionaire industrialist Tony Stark will be making many jealous by both his arsenal of luxury cars, and steaming sidekicks Gwyneth Paltrow and Scarlett Johansson. Oh Tony…how we envy you, buddy. So without further ado, let’s take a peek inside Iron Man Tony Stark’s garage, which is host to five fabulous exotic cars: a 1932 Ford Flathead Roadster, a 1967 Shelby Cobra, a Saleen S7, a 2008 Au
di R8 and a Tesla Roadster prototype.
