Paris Hilton commissioned West Coast Customs to build her this Bentley which is pretty in pink. I actually really love the paint job and I can almost let the wheels pass but the pink grills and interior? Come on Paris, you can put a car together a tad better than this. Paris told the press this isn’t a car she can drive everyday but she will be in it a good bit. I am sure the paparazzi is stoked because they won’t be losing Paris Hilton in this car in the middle of Beverly Hills. No confusing this Bentley with all the other ones on Rodeo Drive anytime soon. Hopefully Paris can really start trending pink and get some more cars this color.

Jay Leno has scored the GM VIN number 00001 for his Corvette ZR1. Lucky for us Jay Leno knows how to make amazing online videos unlike other “moguls” such as Puff Daddy and Kayne West. He produced a ten minute love affair with the most powerful car in the hundred years of General Motors history. Jay Leno has always been well known as a huge GM supporter but I think beyond the small sales pitch within this video you can really see his passion and excitement for the new ZR1 and Corvette culture in general. This really gives the Corvette guys something to be excited about, time to turn in that Z06 and upgrade!

The former NFL running champion has run into some troubles off the field. Unlike other NFL stars who get involved in crime or shootings as of late he has a problem with his Ferrari. Corey is claiming he was taken for over $500,000 by a shop not even authorized to work on Ferrari vehicles.
According to a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles county court, Corey Dillon states he dropped his Ferrari F430 off at a shop in LA to get a twin turbo kit installed on his Ferrari during May 2007. The project was set to cost around $55,000 but during this process of installment the owners tricked him into investing almost $500,000 into their business. Of course as you can imagine the deal went south from here. He was scheduled to get his car in November 2007 but finally in July of 2008 he said no work was ever done. With a tow company and LA’s finest he had them bring the car to another shop.
Somehow while the shop did not install the turbo kit they managed to do $34,400 in damages that came out of Corey Dillon’s pocket to even get the Ferrari back on the road. Corey is taking this shop to court for the money he spent to fix the Ferrari, and his full investment into the business which is roughly around $470,000. He claims the shop poorly spent the money on things such as fast food, liquor, and gasoline. Oh dear is all we have to say, check out a shop before dropping your car off, reference checks are KEY.
