Victoria Beckham’s Range Rover

Posted on May 16, 2012 by The Mechanic

While her husband and worldwide football/soccer star David Beckham may prefer to sport around town atop a a vintage motorcycle, Victoria Beckham likes to look a little more posh behind the wheel of her Range Rover. The Spice Girl recently unveiled her Special Edition Evoque at the Bejing Autoshow in China, and we have to admit that she did a great job helping to design this exclusive ride. With a price tag of around $130 thousand (twice that of a standard Range Rover) and an intitial production run of only 200, the Beckham edition is both luxurious and exclusive. Like most celebrity cars, it’s really expensive, far more than we would pay for a car, but at least it’s exclusive and different. The “baby” 4×4 goes 0-60 in about seven seconds, has all wheel drive and terrain response for off-roading, a “stealth grey” exterior, and rose-gold highlights on both the interior and exterior of the vehicle. We’re not huge Range Rover fans, but that’s a really pretty ride for both the ladies and the guys; nicely done Victoria.

Justin Bieber Spends $20K On A Bike He Can’t Drive

Posted on May 9, 2012 by The Mechanic

You know what’s more awesome than buying a $20 thousand Ducati 848 EVO Superbike? Having a motorcycle license! Everyone’s favorite or least favorite “Boyfriend” singer, Justin Beiber (it’s only one of those two choices by the way; you either love Justin Bieber and are therefore insane, or you hate him and are therefore over the age of twelve) went out and bought himself an ”arctic white silk” colored Ducati that tops out at around 160 mph… without actually bothering to make it legal for him to drive it. The newest top of the line model Ducati landed on Justin’s radar after Usher purchased one for himself. The bike features a wet clutch, which makes it way more quiet on the street but takes some speed off of it. Bieber adds the bike to a very impressive garage that features all sorts of vehicles that a kid as young as him shouldn’t be driving. Feel free to check out some of his other rides, but we warn you, you’re going to want to punt that little twerp in the beans when you see what he’s driving around in while you struggle to gas up your Vespa.

Justin Bieber Buys Yet Another Car

Posted on April 25, 2012 by The Mechanic

You know, at this rate we’re going to have to just call it quits and become a Justin Bieber fan site, because the “Baby” singer just keeps on buying new cars. Not content with his custom Fisker Karma, or his ultra-custom “Batmobile”, the Biebs recently purchased a smart car; which he then went out and had customized. He had the car painted matte-black and had the front emblem replaced with “SWAG CAR”, which of course sounds and looks just as idiotic and pompous as it reads. With all his car purchases and annoying customizations, Justin Bieber is quickly turning from a somewhat cute but annoying child sensation, into the most annoying teen-pop star the world has ever seen.

Justin Bieber Heads Out In His Fisker Karma…For Chicken

Posted on April 9, 2012 by The Mechanic

Nothing says “teenager with way too much money to spend” than a $120 thousand sports car strolling through the drive-thru of a Chick-Fil-A; just ask Justin Bieber. The “Baby” singer recently hit up the drive-thru behind the wheel of his Fisker Karma electric sports car, which was given to him as a gift by his manager Scooter. He was with his girlfriend Selena Gomez (star of Spring Breakout) and the two did their best to not stick out. Of course it’s hard not to stick out when you’re driving a customized chrome-painted sports car. It’s also hard to not stick out when you look like a nine-year-old girl and your driving a really flashy car. Rumor has it that the two grabbed their food and then headed to Jim Henson studios. This mysterious visit supports our theory that Justin Bieber is actually a Muppet sent from the future to begin a puppet revolution; a theory we came up with literally thirty seconds ago, but a theory we will defend with our lives!

David Beckham Bikes Around Los Angeles

Posted on April 4, 2012 by The Mechanic

Okay, so he may look like he’s in the middle of a modeling shoot no matter what time of day you come across him, but at least in these pictures, LA Galaxy soccer star David Beckham is looking a little more rugged than usual. The world-famous footballer took a break from his busy home life with Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham and their four kids, to ride around Los Angles, California on his vintage motorcycle. It looks like it might be an old Triumph, but we don’t know enough about motorcycles to make a solid assessment. Whatever it is, it’s not flashy; it has a very thirties look to it, looking more suited for a battlefield than Rodeo Drive. We’re sure it cost him a pretty penny to look so inexpensive, but it’s still nicer to see him on the back of a bike than it is to see him behind the wheel of a Bentley or something similar.

Eric Berry’s Tahoe

Posted on April 2, 2012 by The Mechanic

Since entering the National Football League a couple of years ago, Kansas City Chiefs Safety Eric Berry has found himself on a Pro-Bowl roster, on the giving end of some big-time hits, and behind the wheel of a solid ride. Berry has spent some of his first-round draft-pick money on a Chevy Tahoe that he’s customized with twenty-six inch matte black and machined black Giovanna Dalar 6V wheels. He had the rims put on by Chad Dearth from KC Trends in Overland Park, Kansas; Dearth does almost all of the customization for the Chiefs’ players rides. Its a nice truck, and not an overly lavish means of conveyance, but the rims seems a bit much. They’re too thin and don’t match the rest of the truck. He gets credit for not over-spending though, and for buying a truck while living in Kansas, instead of something stupid like a convertible.
