50 Cent Thinks "El Camino" Isn't Cool, Will Cheat To Elect Pontiac G8 "Curtis"

Continuing our coverage of the Pontiac G8 Sport Truck ballot bowl naming contest, 50 Cent has announced that he is officially endorsing his own name, "Curtis," for the name of the new ute. This comes as no surprise to our best political team on television hack team of — well, hacks — despite Bob Lutz's unofficial endorsement of "El Camino." Remember, if you haven't already, vote "El Camino" today!

SEMA 2007: 50 Cent's 500 HP Custom Pontiac G8

Rapper 50 Cent took some time away from recording music and trying to grab a piece of Fast Lane Daily host Ashley Van Dyke, to customize a Pontiac G8. We're told he was absolutely instrumental in the design process — like when he said "I want a red car" and then "I want it to have a black stripe." Bingo, he got a "red car" with a "black stripe." Unfortunately, GM wouldn't let him use the rest of his "ideas" and left the remainder of the custom job on the 500 HP LSX 427-engined customized ride to the capable hands at Unique Autosports. Full release below the jump.

GM SEMA Display To Include 50 Cent's Pontiac G8, Jerome Williams-Designed "Urban CEO Edition" Buick Enclave

Buick had a serious contingent of over-primped vehicles on display at last years SEMA show and our lack of enthusiasm over the display doesn't appear to be stopping them from doing the same this year. At least this time the Enclave's out and ready to be toyed with — so that's one good product more than they had last year. And it appears they're using it — we've just heard the highlight of GM's booth this year will be an "Urban CEO Edition" Buick Enclave (pictured above) designed by none other than NBA baller Jerome Williams. Because when we think "Urban CEO" we think about a guy with a nickname of "Junk Yard Dog." In addition to the barking Buick by Williams, we'll also be treated to "SUPERSTAR RAPPER 50 CENT" unveiling a customized Pontiac G8. But wait, there's more — GMC will also uncover a Denali concept of its popular Sierra heavy-duty pick up and then GM tops it all off with a duo of Buick Enclaves by Custom Motor Sports and Mitek Corp. will also be revealed. Full media advisory below the jump. More »

50 Cent Chromes Murcielago

Well, Ftty himself isn't chroming it. He's obviously too busy making movies, celebrity appearances and getting shot for that. So from the "How to fuck up a perfectly good Lambo" file he's had the car sprayed with a simulated chrome paint. Man, first he doesn't die tryin' to get rich and then he goes around humiliating magnificient cars with the money he earned not dying. Schmuck. More »
