When I get that car, I’m driving five miles per hour everywhere. While he’s pretty happy with his current lot, there’s always space for one more. I drift in it, making a little left turn and letting the ass shoot out and stuff, before I go back on the straight.” Because I just know it so well, I control it differently. But then my BMW-if I had to rob a bank, I would probably use that car. It’s truly a first-class seat on a plane. “I drive most of when I can… My Cullinan is my everyday. Tyler’s collections don’t sit there gathering dust. Why not enjoy it? ’Cause you could die tomorrow and be like, ‘Always wanted it black, but everyone on this car forum and message board is going to respect me because I kept the original paint, even though I’m dead.’ ” But if you want to make it black, and you’re like, ‘But this paint was put on before the internet was made,’ then change it. “Or if you love the original paint, more power to you. ![]() You know people hated that car when it came out?
