The guys over at AskMen asked the Full Tilt Poker star how he came about this silver Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR seen above. The story is quite entertaining and hopefully one day the keys to this won't wind up in the middle of a poker hand. An excellent choice from the Mercedes line was made even though it was an impulse purchase.

We know you’re a sensible young man, but what’s your most extravagant purchase to date?

I went with a friend to help him buy a car, and there was this Mercedes McLaren SLR in the parking lot. I asked the salesman how much it was [and] I said, “That’s too much money for a car!” He said, “Take it for a test drive.” I got back and I’m like, “Where do I sign?”

Nigo from BAPE Clothing’s Custom 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing

Nigo from BAPE - 300SL Mercedes Gullwing

Nigo is the founder of BAPE and helps produce Billionaire Boys Club / Ice Cream with Pharrell Williams. The car started as a 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL and was vinyl wrapped in the BAPE camouflage. I love the red interior which I would guess is an original interior but no telling what this car has gone through before Nigo got a hold of it.
