this old news seems new to me, though i'm sure i must have known this already (it was covered by Jalopnik !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ) ...so my brain simply locked it away in the deep bowels of my memory to shelter me from the disturbing fact that Paris Hilton owns and drives a Lexus LFA.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

500.

That's how many LFA's have been bestowed upon the Earth - no more will be made. And she drives one of them.

She has apparently owned it since 2011 after receiving it as a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! from a former boyfriend, and she apparently pays !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for it:

the part i'm struggling with is i don't know if this makes me hate her more, or love her more. i am a fan of the LFA, so any other fan of the LFA is a friend of me? besides, there are most likely some very big pricks driving LFA's all over the world. at least this one looks good in a dress and heels.

well, if this news is leaving a bad taste in your mouth, here's something to wash it down with: a video of Jay Leno driving the only LFA Spyder in Japan ( beautiful music at 4:12 in the video )...

have a good 2014...

I found myself agreeing with shit said by Benito Mussolini today. Regardless of how much you hate a person, there will be something right with them.
Also just because you like her car doesn't mean you can't dislike her.

5.6k a month? She basically buys my car outright every month.

I'd rather see an LFA get creamed in a accident while being driven on public roads than having one sit in some private collection getting 2 miles a year put on it and never being able to abuse the pavement.

Could have two of mine every month.

That's what you get when you make cars without a clutch pedal.

It can be argued she may genuinely appreciate the LFA's details as a driver's car. I think it makes perfect sense for a woman of her distinction.

Ditzy she may be in the affairs of mortals, but having more money than god means she has been around a higher standard of automobile her entire stupid-rich life . How awesome must that be??

She chose a Spyker to compete in a Gumball rally for chrissakes. A lil unique and best interior design of any bespoke auto beside a Pagani.

Can guarantee she's been to more F1, concourses, auto shows and the like than we have and having a life of zero fucks I have a good feeling she doesn't just putz around mall avenues (all the time) with her LFA. Makes me feel good inside, actually she's probably one of the least responsible LFA owners.

I say Huzzah for one of her few great life choices!

Ok, here is why the car totally makes sense for her... It is the ultimate rental car... As in the only way you cab drive it is if you rent it... Lexus won't errr wouldn't let you actually buy one.

she could rent 6 of the apartments I rent 1 of.

Rent? She could rent our entire 6-7 bedroom house twice over for that. Where do you live that the rent is so damned high

I remember seeing this article the first time, and it aggravated me. Seeing it again aggravates me just the same.

To everyone saying this is a shining point in her otherwise utterly pointless, blocked off from reality life, you are all wrong.
First, I doubt she had any choice in the car.
Second, if she did pick it, it is because of the cars rare-ness(is that a word), and cost.

I highly doubt she wakes up and thinks, "I really need to clear my head. I think I'll hope in the LFA and hit the hills/canyons for some spirited driving!"
She probably thinks, "I haven't declared that I'm a DJ, or something else outrageous recently, I better go get some attention by jumping in my rare, expensive, loud car. Can't fall out of the public eye!"

As far as I see it, that car is being held hostage as an expensive accessory, kind of like when she would carry that tiny dog around in her purse. I dislike her, I will always dislike her, no matter what car she "owns" or "drives".

Downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan, my rent doesn't seem to exorbitant to me... Where do you live

Park City, Utah. Most of the stuff around here is 500 to 600 a month. My brother lucked out and found a place for 375 though. I'm also just outside of Park City

true, but driving to trendy malls doesn't seem fitting for an LFA. now, if i happen to come across her and her Japanese beast carving the canyons on one of our local mountain roads...

Damn you and all of your logical, well thought-out points! As much as I hate Paris Hilton, I hate even more to think about the fact that she may very well appreciate an LFA more than most and that she at least DRIVES IT...
