@mweinstein9: Nothing at all, but he has nice stuff, and he hasn't accessorized his nice stuff in the exact same way that commenters would, therefore he's a "douchebag". I give credit to anyone wearing their hometown team's cap.
If you wouldn't drive this car, please comment here and let me know why. If you hate the wheels that much, it says more about you than it does about Phelpsy. They are just wheels. It's a 7-series BMW, it's a bad ass car, so don't hate and don't project your own shortcomings. When you dominate your field of work maybe you can buy one, too. And you can put whatever rims you want on it and I can shit down your throat for your lack of taste.
Who's his photographer? All three of his car poses look like first-day-of-school photos. At least most of the pics on the "most embarrassing celeb car photo" QOTD had some composition to them. These are amateurish, they have no redeeming value.
A picture is worth a thousand words... this picture is worth one sentance: Michael Phelps owns a black 7-Series and a stupid hat. #michaelphelps
I think I first learned about this type of "impaired decision making" in the classic films, Reefer Modness and Marihuana: Assassin of Taste. #michaelphelps
I don't really care much for drug abusers, but it's a nice car considering his height. I bet he's comfortable while driving in the ghetto looking for some drugs. #michaelphelps
@Novaload: One of the most dominate swimmers in the history of the sport? Yup. He's got a multi-million dollar deal with Speedo alone, if I remember correctly #michaelphelps
All those Thunderbirds and Cougars! Makes me want to cry!
I miss my '94. I don't regret getting rid of it, I couldn't afford to keep repairing it constantly. But now that I have the income to repair it properly instead of band-aids, I want it back 'cause it really was a pretty snazzy car. I think they were very under-rated cars.
@Jstas has gas!: I think you hit the nail on the head with why they were junked. I've known quite a few people that payed a lot more than they should have to keep their similar vintage Thunderbirds alive. While they were fun they weren't exactly reliable but perhaps that's just because my friends got a bad lot.
Was all this worth the .02% increase in consumer spending last month? An increase that will likely be offset by a larger decrease in the coming months, because of all those people who only bought their new cars earlier than originally planned?
What a bunch of flippin' dolts we have running the show in DC.
