Dwight Howard’s Black Porsche

Posted on December 14, 2011 by The Mechanic

Dwight Howard is one of the premiere players in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and his car kind of shows it. On price tage alone (it cost him between $150 and $200 thousand), Howard’s all black Porsche Panamera is a ride worthy of an NBA superstar. However, we would never expect to see a man of Dwight Howard’s skyscraper-esque tallness hop out of the little piece of luxury. Never-the-less, the Porsche Panamera is Howard’s car of choice, as it’s a larger model of Porsche and apparently roomie enough to fit the big man; he treats it well too, adorning it with 22″ Savini Mono SM3 wheels, and red Brembo brakes.

Kevin Durant’s Really Red Camaro

Posted on December 12, 2011 by The Mechanic

At only twenty-three years old, Kevin Durant of The National Basketball Association’s (NBA) Oklahoma City Thunder has already led a pretty epic life. He won Nation College Player of the Year, NBA Rookie of the Year, and is the youngest person to ever win an NBA scoring title; he also has pretty nice taste in cars. Where as other guys his age with his kind of money would drive around in a Bentley of a Rolls Royce (okay, he probably has a couple in his garage, but this is his everyday car), Durant opts to stick out slightly less by driving a Matte Red Chevy Camaro. We’re not saying it doesn’t stick out, or that it’s not expensive, we’re just saying that Durant’s Camaro is slightly more practical than what a lot of other guys would drive. It also make him look like a superhero, and we’re idiots, so we think that’s pretty awesome too.

Carmelo Anthony’s Cars

Posted on April 2, 2011 by The Mechanic

Carmelo Anthony likes big classic hot rods. The nicest is the blue 1964 Lincoln Continental. It is unclear if the white one is the same car before restoration or a whole other car entirely because it is also a ’64 Continental owned by Carmelo but that photo was from 2004. The black one is a 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle. He sold this one. It has a Baltimore Oriole on the hood. Notice the Continental matches the Nuggets uniforms nicely, but doesn’t match the blue of the Knicks’ uniforms as well. Oh well.
