More TR on the big screen baby!!

Oh I remember. In that hypnotic white Testarossa! I can't wait to see this movie. Dr. Dre & Ice Cube from humble beginnings to now! Wow!

 

You can see his white TR in this video at 1:36:

Looks like single bolt wheels?

 

That looks [email protected]g forward to it!

 

My apologies if this offends all rapper wannabes on FChat,

Over the last 20 or so years, 2 words that do NOT describe music -
one is Doof
and the other is .............................................Doof

Personally I feel saddened to see the Marque degraded by the "attaining of the previously unobtainable"mindset, presented in this trailer.

But then again, those not too dissimilar moving images pre MTV captured my imagination which brought about my ownership (struggle, passion, vision sans Doof Doof) I kinda get the feeling from the trailer the Marque is more symbolic as a class struggle Icon; and possibly will be treat with the same disrespect that the Thin Blue Line seem to be receiving.

OK its another movie, the car/Marque though is a prop for the wrong reasons. WoWS was the same...thankfully not too much footage exposure. A bit like tattoo's at 18 can be an embarrassment at 40. Heading into my 50last year, I am fortunate my career path remained blue collar, albeit an embarrassing talking point.

My shekel's worth

 

Looks like it. It was featured in a music video too.

 

Jerry Heller is my parents neighbor and he brought Dre, and Eazy E to the neighborhood in the mid 90's. We used to go past Dre's house (his mother lives there now), and always see the white TR parked in the driveway. At this time my dad had a red Tr and a F40, so we would drive by and get the thumbs up. It always kiled me that Dre didn't keep the car in the garage. He also had a Porsche turbo cab or turbo look cab (1989 model?). Good times

 

I actually looked at the car that was featured in this movie. It's a white 87, they wanted $82,000 for it but it was a basket case. Apparently it got hit while filming and they sheared a mirror off. The place selling it in LA redid the interior and did nothing to the engine. I was waiting for a trailer to be posted. I ran from that car.

 

He got rid of the TR years ago. He then had a black 360'spider. Since he's a billionaire now- he probably has a few more cars

Would they part out the cars with celebrity ownership if they're not wrecked? I would think that would add to the value (a'la Eddie Murphy).

 

I wouldn't assume either of those TRs got parted. A lot of TRs go into garages and aren't seen again. MJ traded his in for a black 512TR if I remember right. Sir Mix-a-lot still has his black '87 TR.

As for unsavory characters owning Ferraris...been happening a long time...every hair metal star of the 70s and 80s had them too.

I can't find any reference online to Dr. Dre's TR police chase mentioned earlier. Was it widely reported at the time?

 

I wonder if its Scaledetails old car? I took a peek at it when it was for sale at Copart in Van Nuys about 18 months ago. White with chrome wheels and a tired interior (reason for the new interior?). It started and idled fine when I looked at it.....no misfires. Hell, it didnt even smoke on start up and we had to use a battery cart.

 

Think it's a bit of a stretch that back then (early '90s) someone was making a center lug wheel for a tiny application (single lug testarossa) which had only a 2.5 year window. If you look at the still that "El Wayne" put up, the 'nut' covers the whole fascia of the hub area. Never seen a centerlock do that before. My guess is a 1988 and up car that had 5 stars put on with a center cap cover mimicking a lug nut. Very popular at the time.
Also Dre's chase with the cops was discussed in his VH-1 Behind the Music episode.

 

Im going to an advanced screening in Detroit on Wed. Cant wait!

 

How long are you hanging around for?

 

Detroit, now that's the real hood.

 

You got too love a man that uses the word Shekel.
