ANOTHER REASON TO LOVE CHRIS PINE

We don’t hear this very often- Chris Pine ADMITS he hates modern technology. Even the internet. He totally avoids social media and finds most of it time wasting or toxic. Do you remember when he gave up his Smartphone and started using a flip phone because he felt he wanted to simplify his life when he was not working? So it makes sense that the Wonder Woman star also appreciates old cars. (Who needs a back-up camera?) He’s had several old Porsches, but we love this vintage red Alfa-Romeo convertible. He’s got the right HAIR for this vehicle…

JAY LENO AND TIM ALLEN: MEN AND THEIR TOYS

There’s nothing Jay Leno and Tim Allen like better than examining magnificent cars. The two comics hosted and judged a car show in Boca Raton featuring 175 of the finest collector cars and motorcycles. Jay has hundreds of cars and motorcycles of his own and tries to drive them all. Tim Allen has a weakness for vintage American cars – especially the muscle cars. When asked how many vehicles he owns, Tim won’t get specific – he says “More than I need.”

MOHAMED HADID KNOWS HOW TO SPEND HIS MONEY

We weren’t particularly fond of Mohamed Hadid until we saw him driving this amazing car. He’s been having enormous problems with the city – he built a 30,000 sq ft Bel-Air megamansion without getting city approval and now he’s facing the music. It’s a setback, but he can afford it. We confess his likeability factor went up a notch when we saw this car. He beautifully restored this vintage Packard Caribbean convertible and it looks like a million bucks. It’s a magnificent tri-color example of a mid-century flashy American car. (Swoon) All is forgiven.

Car Culture Cars Lady Gaga

LOOK WHO’S BEHIND THE WHEEL: LADY GAGA!

Now that she’s single, Lady Gaga seems to have more time on her hands, but she’s figured out what to do with it. She recently got her first driver’s license and she’s channeled her fashion obsession into cars! Instead of walking around in several outrageous outfits a day, she’s DRIVING different unusual cars. Sometimes several on ONE day! She prefers them flashy and/or vintage – and like her clothing, anything goes! We predict she will become as well-known for her cars as she is for her clothing. But can she top that MEAT DRESS with a vehicle?

Cars James Dean

OUR FAVORITE OF JAMES DEAN’S LAST PHOTOS

It was a jolt to come across this photo of James Dean that Tom O’Neil posted on Facebook – it was one of the last taken before Dean’s fatal car accident. He’s filling up the tank of his Porsche and we love seeing a sunny Los Angeles gas station in the 50’s. Not to mention that Cadillac! Those were the full service days when the attendant washed your windshield and checked your oil after pumping your gas. Dean was just 24 and had only owned the car for 9 days before his death. Would a seat belt have saved his life? It’s a sad reminder of Paul Walker’s tragic accident.

Cars Keeping up with the Kardashians Kendall Jenner

AGAIN, KENDALL JENNER PROVES SHE HAS BETTER TASTE THAN HER SISTERS

Kendall Jenner has always had a better sense of style and taste than the rest of her family. Her sisters consistently reveal far more of their flesh than the public wants to see and they tend to spend their money on flashy vulgar atrocities, preferably with designer labels. They delight in impressing others with their new Bentleys and Mercedes. But Kendall appreciates fine art. Is anything finer than a ’57 Corvette Stingray? Kendall bought it for herself on her birthday and we love her appreciation for cool vintage cars.
