Adam Carola drives an MCS !?

This should settle the "cute" issue. Mr. "MAN SHOW" drives a Silver MCS as shown on "The Adam Carola Project" on TLC. He also drives a trick 350z, an Aston Martin Vantage, and has an original Cobra in his garage...

Long live the (Macho) MINI!

Yeah, I noticed that as well. SSR Comps too! I cant decide if I like that show. He cracks me up and the goons are pretty funny but theres too much look at how famous crap on it.

yeah, he showed up briefly on an episode of Rides (or was it Overhaulin'?) with his Aston. He's paying big bucks to have it customized Chip Foose -style

Noooooooo! Don't let that hack Foose near the Aston! He already put drilled Brembos on it, no more bling!

True, but he does seem to know what he's talking about.....and he's paying for the show (before he sold it to TLC). Saw some of his other houses he's renovated and rented out....not only funny, but a smart businessman....and I misspelled his name .. it "Carolla" not "Carola". And yes, he has great taste in cars (except for the ricer front on the 350z....but he refuses to put a front license plate on so he gets props)

Jimmy Kimmel makes me want to remove the fork from the Carolla-induced enucleation and stick it in my other eye.

Maybe this thread needs to move to Off-Topic

he also has an original full race datsun 510 that is awesome. I forget what show I saw it on, but I'm overly jealous about that little badboy. I take it that he really knows cars and gets ones that have 'soul' not just a nice car.
