I picked the wrong career. http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/maybach-exelero-2011 Just about the coolest car on the planet. Wonder why it was not snatched by a collector. Oh well.
I never even heard of this guy. In my day, Birdman was a spoof website for weapon systems. I feel old.
Not for nothing but so far it's just been one tweet and a picture of it. The car was owned by a diamond guy in Africa last I remember.
This guy has somewhat decent taste, but the cars are sadly nothing but status symbols for him to brag about. I'm not surprised that he can't even pronounce the names correctly without sounding like he has a disability when he talks.
It's sad if he bought it because it costs so much. Cars like these should be bought with passion and taken care off on behalf of those who dream of it (I might be alone with this perspective here on FerrariChat, but IMHO you get a certain responsibility when you take icons under your wings). Love it because it's so "larger than life", so big, so Batman-ish, so powerful, so elegant but yet so brutal, so... Everything about it is GRAND! Amazing car, can't stop admiring it!
he also posted this picture on his twitter. should we be worried he repaints it? Image Unavailable, Please Login

Agreed. That thing is gruesome. Maybe some neon blue running lights underneath could take it to next level. People around here are worried about Ferrari depreciation - I think that Hollywood movie prop will lose 95% of its value by June...unless of course, another rapper wants it.
If Birdman has $100 million stacked, I wonder how much Lil' Wayne has stacked. (I know who both of these guys are. Look up Hot Boys and Cash Money Milliionaires. This is before they actually had millions of dollars.)
I've seen the Exelero (more than one? I doubt they sold the original) in the flesh more than once. An absolutely hideous car.
Lil' Wayne sells more records than both of those guys. His music is garbage, but the kiddies love it.
I bought some of their records WAY back in middle school / high school (late 90s). Juvenile was one of my favorites...his song 'back that azz up' is still played in clubs. Never was the biggest fan of Lil Wayne and I was surprised to see how he has taken off since he days when he was a teenager with the group. Some of their cheesy lyrics included stuff like "I'm a 1999 driver," lol. I'm surprised they thought that line would never get old. Master P has a lot of money, too, but I'm sure he's lost most of it like the others.
Birdman is a co-founder of Cash Money Records; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Cash_Money_Records_artists. Not too difficult to understand, having signed Nicki Minaj, Juvenile, Jay Sean, Lil Wayne, DJ Khaled, Bow Wow, T-Pain, Drake and so many other big names.
