WTH: Another Luxury Car Stolen from a Dealership!

Two luxury cars owned by two celebrities have been swiped from two separate dealerships on two separate U.S. coasts already this month!  Dizzy?  So are we!

Recently, we covered the theft of celebrity chef Guy Fieri’s Lamborghini Gallardo from a San Francisco dealership, and just last week a $190,000 Porsche Panamera owned by J.C. Romero of the Phillies vanished from Bert Smith Porsche in St. Petersburg, Florida.  Is swiping exotic cars from dealerships becoming a new trend?

J.C. Romero Porsche Panamera Theft

Romero’s Porsche Panamera was at the Porsche dealership for routine service and maintenance at the time of its disappearance.  It does seem highly unusual for two exotic cars to be stolen within the same short period, one on each coast of the United States.  So if you are in the San Francisco area and spy a bright yellow Lamborghini Gallardo somewhere that it should be, or a blue Porsche Panamera in Florida, perhaps notify authorities because they may not be exotic rental cars off the beaten path!

Guy Fieri’s Lamborghini Gallardo Heisted, Action-Flick Style!

 Guy Fieri Lamborghini Gallardo Theft

In what may be one of the most action movie style exotic car thefts, the $200k Lamborghini Gallardo owned by celebrity chef Guy Fieri has been stolen from a San Francisco dealership. 

The suspect used climbing gear to scale a roof and access the interior of the dealership, where they then sliced through some locks and simply drove off in the 2008 yellow and black exotic sports car.  The theft was accomplished in a style befitting ‘Gone in 60 Seconds’, though I imagine that the luxury car thief is likely far less appealing than Angelina Jolie in that film.

Fieri owns around ten luxury sports cars, and while his collection pales in comparison to some other celebrity luxury car collections (I am looking at you, Jay Leno), the food dude does exhibit much taste in his choices. I am sure he wishes this was a Los Angeles luxury rental car that he rented rather than one of his own exotic cars from his collection.

Charlie Sheen the Luxury Car Sugar Daddy?

Charlie Sheen Loses Job

When you hemorrhage money like Charlie Sheen, I suppose you can afford to splurge on the finer things in life…like $800,000 worth of luxury cars…for others.  I also suppose you could do this with or without a paying TV gig. 

The juicy part of said rumors is that Sheen has reportedly bestowed the exotic car gifts to porn stars and other ladies in his life.  A car salesman’s wet dream, Sheen has shed close to a million on four luxury cars over the past month.  Wouldn’t a luxury rental car for each lady have done the trick?

Has Eminem Lost Himself in the Super Bowl?

Eminem Endorses Chrysler 200 Luxury Car via Super Bowl Commercial

Chrysler and a few other standard automakers have been working hard to be viewed in a more luxurious light, as luxury car brands.  Case in point:  Chrysler shelled out approximately $9 million dollars for celebrity Eminem to endorse the 2011 Chrysler 200 via a Super Bowl ad.

In the two-minute ad, Eminem’s ‘Lose Yourself’ barely plays in the background, and the star highlights how Detroit is the ‘Motor City’.  The 2011 Chrysler 200 sedan is being positioned as a luxury car, and the Super Bowl ad was likely a smart choice for the brand, with its insanely high volume of viewers.  For our fans in the windy city, follow link to view our luxury rental car Chicago fleet, now with new additions.

Christina Aguilera to Tribute Aretha Franklin at Grammys?

Christina Aguilera National Anthem 2011

Oh say can you see…where Christina Aguilera went wrong?  The famous Star Spangled Banner flub has certainly landed the star in the hot seat, though rumor has it she is still set to tribute the great Aretha Franklin at the Grammys.  Well, was she any worse than the Black Eyed Peas?

Black Eyed Peas Halftime Show

It is just that not all of us make mistakes at an event as mammoth as the Super Bowl, watched by millions and millions around the world.  And then not many have then flubbed a patriotic song at such a huge and patriotic event…I am starting to feel a pang of sympathy for the girl here.

The Multi-Billion Dollar Sinking City?

Designed to dazzle as the ultimate luxury property possession, Dubai Islands ‘The World’ are gradually sinking back into the sea, according to some.  This is not stellar news to the many who have sunk considerable collateral into the fantasy world.   Yes, shockingly, evidence has been presented to a property tribunal that the man-made islands fashioned like the countries of the world are surrendering the sea, due to deterioration and erosion.

John Lennon’s Ferrari 330 to Fetch $220,000 at Bonham’s Paris Auction?

John Lennon Ferrari 330

A light blue Ferrari purchased by the late John Lennon of the Beetle’s just hours after passing his driving test may grab a lofty $220,000 at Bonham’s Paris auction on February 5th. 

It is a stunning light blue Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 coupe that was delivered to Lennon in February of 1965- the very day he earned his driving privileges.  Nice.  It would seem that Lennon had a taste for luxury cars and exotic rental cars, as a Rolls-Royce Phantom V Limousine joined the Ferrari 330 in his garage that same year.

Don’t Drive Your Badass Lamborghini While Impaired-Even if You are Vince Neil of Motley Crue

Rocker Vince Neil of Motley Crue has discovered the hard way that even being a wealthy and famous resident of Sin City does not translate to a get out of jail free pass.  It seems to for Paris Hilton, but not for Lindsay Lohan, Mel Gibson, Nicole Richie or Vince Neil.  At least he was driving his own Lambo and not a Lamborghini rental or other exotic car rental LA when the incident occurred!
