Ludacris on his two-decade Acura romance - BBC News
Christopher Bridges, aka Ludacris, is famous for many things: being among the first successful hip-hop artists from the US southeast, starring in the highly successful The Fast and the Furious movie franchise, creating his own brand of cognac... He also happens to love cars. In addition to brand new Bentleys, Ferraris, Rolls-Royces and Range Rovers, he has a special place in his collection for his favourite vintage ride: a 1993 Acura Legend sedan, which he has kept since he bought it. In fact, he’s such a fan of Acura... Once the car was unveiled and the scrum died down, Ludacris – or Luda to his fans – sat to answer a few questions about automotive innovation, car love and his latest fantasy car. I see the influence of lots of supercars: a bit of the Audi R8, a bit of the Ferrari 458 Italia, even some of the new McLaren. And what about your Legend. I’ve got a 1993 Legend with over 230,000 miles on it. I bought it used in 1999 and I’m still driving it. It becomes a part of your life. A lot of times with men, we become one with our cars. When you really love your car, that’s how you treat it, take care of it. You change the oil. For a lot of men, a love of cars is a cultural thing. Source: www.bbc.com
