Car of the Stars (from AOL)

[StanAE86]

From AOL, I put my comments in [ ] because some of the cars were in captions and you wouldn't be able to tell without seeing the picture...anyhow, here's the article:

Cars of the Stars

Most celebrities can afford any car they want, so what do they drive? For the most part, they drive top-tier vehicles such as Paris Hilton's custom-ordered Bentley, Madonna's ultra-sleek Maybach 57 and Denise Richards' Mercedes S-Class.

Paris Hilton doesn't believe in the "simple life" -- at least when it comes to what's in the driveway. Her custom-ordered, hand-assembled Bentley, similar to the one pictured here [Bentley Continental], is worth more than many small towns.

Britney Spears' half-million dollar Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren convertible [Do they come in convertibles? I've seen pics of her SL55 - perhaps a mistake by AOL?] could have its own music video -- and turns heads almost as quickly as her dance moves. The $450,000 Mercedes uber roadster features a 617-hp V-8 that gets 13 mpg

Queen Latifah appreciates the classics -- including her vintage Mustang convertible. Her yellow ragtop features whitewall tires -- and a 289-cubic-inch V-8 engine. [no photo]

Charlize Theron -- a native of Australia -- is always ready for an outback adventure in her rough-and-ready Range Rover HSE -- though she may soon trade up for the just-released supercharged Range Rover Sport.

Courteney Cox appreciates the vault-like security of her Mercedes-Benz coupe -- which easily puts distance between the 'Friends' star and annoying paparazzi. [CL65 AMG]

Julia Roberts could drive anything -- but chooses to express her concern for the environment (and maintain a low profile) by driving a sensible and far-from-flashy Toyota Prius gas-electric hybrid. [I heard it's the "in" thing and that many celebs arrive at awards shows a block away in their Escalades so they can swap out into a hybrid and show up at the red carpet on a hybrid]

Madonna's $325,000 V-12 powered Maybach 57 ultra-luxury sedan reveals the material girl's sense of style -- and desire to drive something that sets her apart from the crowd.

Anna Kournikova favors the living large profile of her outsized Cadillac Escalade EXT -- an even bigger version of the already enormous Caddy sport-utility vehicle that comes standard with a 345-hp 6-liter V-8 and plenty of attitude.

Denise Richards likes the sheen of her Mercedes S-Class sedan; the standard "roller" for those with the means to buy anything they want when it comes to wheels.

It's from AOL - what else would you expect?

Now for my next question - who the hell is so braindead that they have to subscribe to AOL for internet service?

[graywolf624]

^^I often wonder if anyone still uses AOL.. Even the less computer literate people I know have jumped ship from them a long time ago.

LOL AOL is stupid

My sister subscribed a long long time ago and still maintains her account there. I'm an "extra" screenname on it. Should I be ashamed to admit that I am on AOL dial-up at home?

I used to do NetZero, but their ads got bigger and bigger until I could only see about 3/4 of my screen. I had Juno for a while, until you could only get online for like 1 hour at 2AM unless you paid.

Since beggars can't be choosers, I don't complain since it's free to me. =)

[Ghostbat]

Actually Britney Spears drives an SL500 not an SL55.

[graywolf624]

^^The fact that you know that disturbs me a bit.
