eBay find of the Day: 50 Cent's chrome Murcielago
August on eBay is the season of celebrity car flogging, with Sean Connery's 635 CSI and a BMW 320is owned by a post-Risky Business Tom Cruise going now. 50 Cent, perhaps making space at one of the mansions for the season's new rides, has thrown his chrome Lamborghini Murcielago into the mix. Inside is black leather with contrasting gray stitching, black carpet, and E-gear. Outside is the aforementioned reflective paint job, sitting on 20's. The whole package has done 1,060 miles, having been in magazines, on TV shows, and a YouTube traffic stop video...
According to the seller, the car has was also the subject of a huge stereo upgrade, but all traces of it have been hidden or removed. If you don't mind the shine factor -- the car doesn't scream for attention nearly as much as a yellow one would -- it's a remarkably decent looking package. And that makes us think something we never expected to be saying about Fifty: if it really is his car, we wish more rappers showed as much restraint with their rides.

over priced fishing lure.
i'd rather have the aston at the bottom of the page going for 1/3rd the cost, and not blindingly horrid.

That's probably why he's getting rid of it - it's not drawing enough attention for him.

He only made around $400 million on the Vitamin Water sale , time to old with the old , in with the new. 1060 miles , thats a lot for a Lamborghini , probably about time for a complete overhaul.

I'm actually surprised that instead of chrome, it's not GOLD.....

Holy crap! That is tacky. Proof that having money doesn't equal having good taste.
"Going over the top," isn't always a good thing.

That's the first post-Diablo Lamborghini that I've seen look good.

This is a good deal. Considering 50 Cent's 4th grade inner-city education, the car was heavily customized that a child can drive it! Think, people, think!

What a clown, and believe it or not I have a trusted source from a certain record label saying the hole 9 gunshots was completely fabricated, his "bullet wounds" were actually created in a plastic surgeons office.

The car was featured in an episode of Unique Whips on Speed Channel, the audio was done by Unique auto sports. On a side note the car was also involved in a radio station bet, where Big Boy (A LA radio DJ) had to wash it.
All aside, not a bad deal...
