All this worrying for nothing.
The second annual Rick Ross Car & Bike Show went off without a hitch this past Saturday. The giant crowd that showed up at the rapper’s Promise Land estate in Fayetteville, Georgia, greeted a gathering of some of the South’s most eye-catching games, as well as a concert and a rodeo.
The second batch of the event featured more of what the attendees loved at last year’s event. Da Boss’s private collection of primarily American-made classics—including his beloved red 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air fire engine—is displayed in front of his stately home, as are hundreds of other vehicles owned by other enthusiasts from around the area. Social media is filled with footage and video of some of the wild cars, trucks and motorcycles that were on display at the one day event, including A giant yellow Ford Tonka trucka Purple Lamborghini Huracan With an airbrushed image of Kobe Bryant on the hood and Lime green C8 Corvette Z06. Also, the Bell Air golf cart that Ross used to zoom his sprawling estate is impossible to miss.
The prizes were handed out just as they would at a traditional Concours d’Elegance car event. On Instagram, Ross Highlight This stunning 1975 Chevrolet Caprice Classic is custom by I95 Motorsports. The lowered car featured a color-shifting emerald green body over a green leather interior with plenty of gold trim. The dropdown was rightly honored as the show’s “best dunk” (“dunk” is a custom Chevy Caprice or Impala from the mid-1970s).
The event was more than just an ordinary car show, as it turned out last year. There was a concert with performances by Meek Mill, Gucci Mane and, of course, Ross himself. Attendees at this year’s Rick Ross and Mike’s Auto Show I also got to check out the rodeo.
We imagine Ross will be pleased with how things turn out, especially since just weeks ago the fate of the event seemed to be in serious doubt. Fayetteville County authorities initially denied the rapper’s request for a permit to hold the event, due to concerns about traffic and safety. He eventually obtained a permit after securing additional parking access, transportation, and security.
In the end, things went so smoothly that Ross actually made plans for next year’s show, which, He claimsIt will display some of the cars from Tyler the Creator’s personal collection.
