Cliff Avril Adds Some Sick Rides to his Collection

We knew Seahawks defensive end, Cliff Avril was rolling tough in a matte black Mercedes-Benz G63 since we featured it last year after he took it to Rich B. Caliente in Miami but it doesn't stop there. Avril's collection has grown and he's currently featured on the latest DUB Magazine proudly displaying the rest of his all-black cars including his Ferrari 458 Spider and classic 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS.

We love that Avril's always been a car guy and we can't wait to see what he adds next.

“As soon as I got my first car - a Mazda Protégé - I saved up enough money to put some 17s on it. Got it lowered, added exhaust tips… Haha, I thought I was doing my thing on it.”

Hey, we all start somewhere right! Check out the full DUB article here.

Clarkson Shows Off His VW Golf GTI

Despite the enormous pressure VW are under at the moment due to their diesel engine emissions software scandal, the most outspoken and influential car guy on the planet has purchased a Golf GTI.

Jeremy Clarkson has also taken time out from the production of his new Amazon Prime format to defend the German company. In true Jezza style, the ex Top Gear presenter used phrases like, "eco mentalists" and "soft-in-the-head governments", perhaps making a more important statement relating to the damaging aftermath: “The fallout would be immense because [it] owns Audi, Bugatti, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche, Seat and Skoda as well. So they'd also go to the wall.”

Clarkson also took to twitter and released photos of his new VW Golf GTI, his comments: "I'm happy with my new car", and “This is why I bought it. Couldn't give a stuff about how much nitrogen it's producing”.

Although nitrogen is a speciality of the diesel engine and Jezza's turbo-charged 2.0-L petrol GTI produces more CO2 than nitrogen, we know what he is getting at - despite VW breaking all the rules, manufactures are producing cars with powerful yet impressively economical engines, and ultimately VW's deception isn’t enough to drive customers into buying Japanese or Korean vehicles over German.

The Game Turns His Jeep Into A UFO

As if The Game's Jeep isn't lurid enough, the rapper decided to have his orange 4X4 customized with off road lights and infrared projectors.

Stumble across this ride at night and you'd surely expect Mulder and Scully to put in an appearance.

Meek Mill Valets His Banshee

Rap artists may have the cash to drive the best cars the globe has to offer but Meek Mill know's that the fun factor doesn't always have to come from Italy or Europe. He may own some expensive rides, including his white Rolls Royce, Bentley and Corvette, but the smiles are all there when it comes to giving his Banshee quad a quick ride.

The star shared his Yamaha with the words "activate!" and "valet the Banshee!"

Bam’s Selling His Lambo

Bam Margera's Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster is now in the same situation as the Gallardo he purchased after the 2006 Gumball - it's being replaced. Although this time, it seems it's not going to be replaced with a car.

"A decision has been made. I'm getting rid of this thing. Because a wish of a dear friend is looking for a 58 black Beauty gibson. So I'm gonna find one."

It may seem extreme having to sell a Lambo just to buy a guitar, but considering Les Paul's 1954 Black Beauty Gibson sold for $335, 500, Bam has obviously done his home work.

The Jackass star is also extremely generous.

Video: Jay Leno’s Thoughts on the Tesla P90D

The Tesla P90D is fast. Zero-60 in 2.8 seconds fast. And like you'd expect, this speed comes with a price tag and it's not cheap. In the video below, Jay Leno talks Tesla and wether or not he thinks the $120,000 price tag is worth it.

Tune in to Jay Leno's new show, "Jay Leno's Garage" tonight, Oct. 7 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on CNBC.

Mercedes-Benz Wants To Be Nicki Minaj’s Favorite

It's no secret Nicki Minaj loves the color pink - her bright pink Lamborghini Aventador with matching rims makes Paris Hilton's infamous Bentley actually seem dull.

Nicki Minaj is so influential, Mercedes-Benz USA took to their Instagram and posted a picture of a pink SLS AMG with the caption "@NICKIMINAJ We just wanna be your favorite #Pinkprint"

The rapper took a screen shot and posted on her own feed, replying: "You always have been. Let's go."

Tyga Adds A Wraith To His Phantom

I don't know if Tyga and Kylie Jenner visited the Rolls Royce dealership together, but around the same time Kylie showed off her $400K Rolls Royce Ghost, boyfriend Tyga revealed his grey Wraith on Instagram.

The rapper already owning a Phantom added, "Stay in school", to the picture. Considering Tyga dropped out of school at 15 and Kylie ended her home schooling in January, I'm guessing Tyga is having a joke.

Is That Jezza Clarkson Driving A Porsche?

We're not entirely sure if this is the world's grumpiest automotive presenter sitting in a Porsche but a Reddit user recently spotted a fairly convincing Jezza driving a Targa GTS.

The driver is certainly dressed for the part, and if the real Clarkson were to climb out, that brown jacket would almost certainly be paired with denim and a questionable pair of moccasins.

Clarkson is known for his dislike of Beetles - I mean, Porsches - but if it really was him, it would almost certainly be a press car.

Whoever's driving looks like he's either bored of the traffic and fiddling with buttons, or he's desperately looking for something amusing and of hyperbolic proportions to say about the car to annoy 911 lover and co-presenter, Hamster Hammond.

I guess we'll have to wait until the ex BBC trio appear on Amazon Prime to see if the car makes an appearance on their new format.

Is Donald Trump’s Lamborghini Diablo VT Really For Sale Or Is This A Marketing Ploy For a New Site?

I'm seeing a bunch of headlines for a Lamborghini Diablo VT for sale that was once owned by Donald Trump. The rare Diablo VT is a beautiful color and is a very rare car but I really question if it's for sale and if so, why is it not listed on eBay or with a broker.

Instead it's being advertised so to speak on a new site "The Drive" which TIME Inc has recently launched.  No one lists a car for sale via online blogs so it looks to me this is one big marketing ploy for The Drive.

Blasts From the Past: A Speedy Stroll Down Memory Lane

At Best Driver's Car, A Blink or Two Can Tell an Eye-Opening Story
One of my favorite parts of Best Driver's Car—apart from driving the dizzying array of sexy sheetmetal up and down Highway 198, arguing with Jonny Lieberman about whether the Caddy CTS-V is superior to the Bentley GT3-R (it is), and sipping Brian Vance's freshly brewed coffee at 6 a.m. in a fogged-in garage at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca—is standing next to pit wall, iPhone stopwatch in hand, timing each contender as it whizzes by at triple-digit clips down the front straight. Over the years, I've gotten so adept—my fingertip in near harmony with the data gleaned from Kim Reynolds' VBox GPS machine—that Scott Evans has nicknamed my iPhone RonBox. Within moments of my tapping the screen and reading aloud the time, my fellow editors race to their smartphones to find comparable times from previous years' contenders. Oohs and aahs ensue over the separation of a couple tenths or a few hundredths—essentially blinks of an eye. But what an eye-opening story a blink or two can tell.
