Where would we be without TMZ? We wouldn't know who was wearing what or who ate what where. It would be a nightmare world full of sadness and....wait, actually, maybe it wouldn't be so bad.
But forgetting the moral and social aspect of TMZ's army of snap-happy spies, every once in a while we get a gem like this: Ron Artest, half-wearing a full-face helmet, pulled over in an Eagle Roadster.
What's an Eagle Roadster? Glad you asked, friend! The Eagle is a 1,900 lb 1 + 1 roadster powered by a 253-horsepower 3.5-liter Chrysler iron block V6. It's got a four-speed automatic transmission and, according to their website, hits 60 in 4.2 seconds and rips through the quarter mile in 12.9 seconds at 113 mph.
The stats don't seem impressive, but consider this: 1) Ron's been pulled over (expired tags) and yet he's still smiling. 2) This dude has 5-year 33 million dollar contract. He doesn't have to settle.

Odd choice of drivetrains. Does the owner of the company have a soft spot for Intrepids?

Not surprised at all. Not even an ounce.

I'm suprised that it can't stop any faster than 70-0 in 185 ft.

Only Ron Artest could be this stupid. Yet another reason why athletes should not be considered role models.

I guess that's one way an NBA player can get all the headroom he needs. But what a poorly-designed monstrosity this is. Looks like a 2-seat Malibu Grand Prix cart. He probably also has a Bradley GT.

Rondo would stop faster than this.
