Perhaps it's merely the era, perhaps it's the shapes of modern cars, but you just don't see large numbers of sports cars and supercars drenched in wildly luminous colors anymore - the Lamborghini Gallardo maybe the only exception. A sky blue Porsche 911 or a dandelion Ferrari were once nothing special; now a white Ferrari is avant-garde.

Bimmerpost forum member X-Vert caught this in NYC while it was waiting to have some work done. While we personally shy run away from cars in incadescent colors, and even though the girth of the 6 Series makes for a Great Wall of Yellow, with the black top and black wheels we think it's not bad at all.

The legendary Houston MC swung by “Sway In The Morning” to spit some bars over the Roc’s “4 Da Fam” instrumental and a new verse off his forthcoming Rooted album.

Sean Falyon pays no mind to people with a fistful of dollars and a “Mouthful of Lies.”

He comes correct on this one. Love the fact that he embraces who he is.
