"He failed to provide proper paperwork for the vehicle, and it turned out that the car was not registered, nor did it have a VIN number, or plates. Yikes!"
I think he's somewhat of an intelligent man and this is hilarious for him to be dumb enough to drive without everything you absolutely need on a vehicle.

I guess he has a car company. Not sure what that thing is based on, it is just a little too ugly and disjointed to look at.

From Autoguide:
"The vehicle, which debuted on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno is called IAMAUTO and at first glance, it appears to be a hopped-up tuner car gone wrong. Nonetheless, we love the fact that the artist is more interested in wanting to create jobs, investing money into a car company for the neighborhood he grew up in.
"IAMAUTO was built with OEM Chrysler parts and features a Beats by Dr. Dre sound system. In Will.I.Am’s own words, “It’s sick, it’s really fresh.” We probably have other choice words to use to describe the car, but again, we love that the intentions are good and hope that it’s a successful venture, but we also hope Will.I.Am goes out and finds himself a new designer."

He is artistically inteligent and creative, but not intelligent in the tradtional sense. I commend him for his intentions, but once he learns how much it costs to prduce things here in ca especially from scratch in a densely populated urban area, he'll see why more companies dont do the "right" thing. Plus, unlike superfical fashion which hes so keen on being an expert on, cars need to function as looks will only get you so far and competition is stiff. Whats he going to do that west coast customs, the company thats been building all of his "creations," cant do? Or other companies like foose, noble, etc. I wish him well, but it sounds like hs going to take an existng car, customize it, slap his name on it, an sell it in limikted quantities. How many jobs will that really create over any large bodyshop? What a guy.
