Count me among those WAY more interested in the 2010 Camaro parked in the background than in Phelps or yet another SL with rimz.

So what he smokes a little weed? its not unlike 45 million athletes dont do that and worse. Hes still a kid and not only is he rich and famous, hes one of the best athletes of all time. So some of you should stop hating just for the sake of hating. Sure, having a monster whip doesnt make him any less WHITE, but fuck it, let him do him! P.S. hes definitely not trying to be a "gangsta"

@supastarnyc: Not trying to be gangsta? Then why does he only listen to rap shit? Why is his hat idiotically crooked? He's an ass and no amount of swimming ability can take that away.

@SpudMills: You've got it exactly backwards. He's an incredible athlete with enormous swimming ability and nothing he does in his private life can take that away.

I'd trade ten million sour web commenters for one more Michael Phelps.

@.357: Dude, what's wrong with Lil Wayne? Guy has put out free mixtapes that are better than 99% of the hip hop for sale. How he can be so esoteric and just plain weird and bend flows around any beat and still have commercial success defies logic. Plus, he's the only one besides Neil Young that really called out George W. Bush.

@skierpage: Seriously. Dissing Phelps on a message board for his taste in cars? Maybe the guy was busy training his ass off the last ten years of his life in order to be the very best at what he does, and that may have interfered with his ability to keep up with cultural trends and what is considered cool. Dude could walk around with a Cabbage Patch Kid under each arm and I'd still respect him. He could put three wings and a garish bodykit on that benz and he'd still be golden in my book.

@eggwich del fiero: That's right! His ability to swim fast trumps any other mistakes, gaffes, or bad judgment that he may ever display!

This guy is a fucking clown. Call a spade and spade.

@therealmusashi: Me, I never made any bad decisions, clothing-wise, car-wise, or career-wise, when I was twenty four. You neither? Then let's point fingers! It's not just his ability to swim fast, it's the work he's put in to develop that skill to get where he is. Let the guy have his fun. So he smoked some weed and he bought a car you don't approve of, he still owns us all, however you want to slice it.

@wyatt_1st: you can't keep your job or money from going offshore. That's not how economies work. Never have, never will... there will be imports, there will be exports. If we all stopped buying imports tomorrow, guess what, no exports will be sold next week. Our economy goes splat...

@BrAff: That's why I pledge allegiance to Ford, the United States, and tube tops, in that order. A car company that isn't multinational is just a company that is still in it's infancy.

If Bmore's anything like it was when I was growing up, he better watch his back at stop lights. People used to get dragged from their cars and beaten to death, just for driving through the wrong part of town. And by wrong, I mean wrong color, that place used to be crazy racist and segregated. Haven't been there in 20 years though. Miss the crabs, and that's about it (no not those crabs, the kind you eat silly).

When did Vanilla Ice get so tall?

Yo Phelps let's kick it

Drive a Mercedes (x2)
All right stop douche-out and listen
Phelps is back with blacked out Mercedes
Something burns my brain so brightly
Dig my eyes with a spoon it’s unsightly
Will it ever stop yo I hope so
Turn off the lights and I'll glow
To the extreme I rock a bong like a slacker
Stand on a stage and get a medal like a cracker
Drive too fast to the speaker that booms
I'm frying your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly when I swim a 100 meter
Now I sport a whacked out wife beater
When you stop swimmin’ you start to gain weight
You better swim butterfly the kid don’t play
If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

CHORUS
Drive a Mercedes Phelps (x4)

Why is everyone so upset about the fact that this American Hero, funded by American tax dollars and American corporate sponsorship $$ is driving a foreign car? Isn't Mercedes part of the great multinational Daimler-Chrysler?

Oh wait. Sorry. My bad.

So this clearly then doesn't qualify as a car that a douchebag would not drive.

...just in case there was any question about that....
