The controversy was the wheel's, as they were 19" front wheel drive wheels manufactured by Prime Wheels. During the construction we had a score board on the wall to score the use of the wheels. Jon's 1 yes to 30 No's. Guess who won?
After 22,000 miles of car show's in one year, the car was in retirement in Colorado only to visit ice cream shops on Sunday. It has now moved on to Vegas and to its new owner and famous singer.

If you don't hear the low rumble of this ride rollin' your way, you will definately hear the 800 watt stereo system! This car is all about luxury and class with power steering, power brakes, cruise control and AC/heat with hidden vents.
