So I was on my way home last night, and I see a gunmetal DB7 pass in front of me while I was at a stoplight. I had seen the car before and wanted to give the owner a thumbs-up, so I took a right and chased after him. He must have heard my car, so he floored it. The sound of that car is amazing...I think it was just the regular V8 model, not the Vantage, but still it sounded awesome.

I caught up to him at a stoplight, and just looked at the car and gave the owner a thumbs-up. The windows were definitely illegally tinted so I could not see a damn thing...but once we got going again, he rolled down his window, and I saw it was a middle-aged black guy with a bald head and earring...Michael Jordan. He took a quick left to his house, and I kept going toward mine. That just made my night.

you're BULL-shitting again...

 

if he had been driving his 512M, I probably would have, even before I knew it was him.

 

you would've rolled his 512M...hehe

 

nope, no BS here. This is absolutely 100% true.

A friend told me later that he had seen the same DB7 outside Jordan's apartment complex (which happens to be about a block from my building) and it had some custom plate, featuring the number 23 somehow. It had to be him.

 

Nicey nicey, I tried to race sparewell in his Bently (I revved and revved and he just laughed and laughed) I think I'm scared

 

How does he fit that thing?

 

that's awesome

 

DB7 is the chassis designation for a 4dr Integra LS/GS.

LOL. Then I realized it was an Aston Martin.

 

My friend saw a DB7 when he got his alarm installed at a shop. The DB7 was there to have a K40 radar installed and the owner is MJ. Ross where did you see the car? It was in IL when my friend saw it.

 

i wish i could race a celebrity, but i would prefer a female, like Jennifer Love Hewitt

 

same here. i was like...damn jordan in an integra?!!

 

This happened in Washington DC. I don't recall exactly what the plate said but I am pretty sure it wasn't a DC plate...could very well have been IL.

The turn he took when he took a left was toward the Ritz-Carlton Hotel's residential side, which is where he lives in DC.

 

Cool story. I got his autograph

 

ohhh my god...lucky bastard

 

great story Ross!

 

dAAYYYYMMMM. i met MJ in tahoe at a celebrity golf tournament. and i live in seattle and this was in 96 when seattle lost to bulls in the finals, and he was waiting to tee off and somebody shouts, "way to beat them sonics!" and i shout back "man, where all the sonic fans at damnit?" and he turns around and goes "at home where you should be" than i went home and wept all night...

 

Ross you lucky bastard, that is awesome!!

 

That is tight. I revved on a yellow convertible porshe on the 405 here in LA about two months ago..in the middle of traffic the top went down and it was Britney Spears...she smiled...Every last detail of that is permanently burned into my memory....bikini top and sunglasses driving a yellow porsche...curse that Timberlake guy...

 

Nice Ross. Keith Van Horn of the NJ Nets lives in my town. Guy drives like an *******. One night around 2:30 am some dude is on my ***, bright HIDS. As the road split into two lanes, I move to the right, look over and see GOOFY Van Horn fly by in a big-*** 600 series Benz sedan.. He also drives around in a Ferrari F355 beating the **** out of that poor car.. He needs to "beat on" the Lakers not his cars..

 

same with Wayne Cherbet of the Jets. Him and Keith Elias are Seaside Heights, NJ ******. They are frequent visitors of Club Bamboo. Wayne Drives a yellow Ferrari Modena, and he drives like an *******. He raced a 10 second Mustang on Rt 37 about 2 years ago and got his *** whooped. This was a Friday night, next night at Bamboo (saturday) he got into a brawl with the mustang owner. He got arrested

 

Joe Montana came into the Blockbuster that I worked at in KC back in High School, he paids his late fees. Man I live a sad life, I could'nt even talk, I looked like a complete retard.

I also Ran into Bob Costas (literally ran into him) While I was working at the main media center for the 02 Olympics, I said "Oh my god, it's you" he said "yep, it's me" I freaked out and shook his hand and ran off. I am such a goofball.

 

Same thing happened to a friend of mine when we worked at Blockbuster and its on video, Joe Pesci Has a huge house at the Jersey Shore, well he came into the blockbuster in toms river and bought the movie "A Christmas Story". He autographed the reciept for my friend and gave him 100.00. Hows that grab ya
