Just a question, but I was watching a show on E about how Scarlett Johanssen (however you spell her last name) went to the BMW dealership and drove away in a hot new Z4 convertible. The picture then showed she was driving a blue 2.3i Z4. I'm guessing she paid the full sticker price, but why the hell would she not get the 3.0i? I think this episode aired awhile ago.

Anyways, my question is, does anyone know of any real celebrities that drive s2000's? And I dont mean in a movie, and I dont mean C-list celebrities such as the cast from Laguna Beach.

I seem to recall a story of MC Hammer crashing his, and I'm pretty sure Jason Lee has one as well.

Most of the big name celebrities are rarely car people and just buy something expensive and flashy. First thing is usually a lambo or ferrari. Unless you're a rapper, then it's either an Escalade (more hummers now though) or a Bently.

I know that CART/Indy Car driver Dario Franchitti has a S2000. Hes married to actress Ashley Judd.

She may actually care about gas mileage. Why would celebrities get a Toyota Echo instead of the LS430?

Didn't Mario Andretti have one? I even want to go as far to say it was one of his only 'street' cars in his garage? Please correct me if I'm wrong, could just be a fantasy of mine?
