The second annual Rick Ross Car and Bike Show was successfully held on Saturday without any incidents. At the rapper’s “Promise Land” mansion in Fayetteville, Georgia, a sizable crowd was treated to a performance and rodeo, along with an assembly of some of the most striking automobiles in the South.
More of what attendees loved about the first edition was present in the second edition of the event. Along with hundreds of other automobiles owned by aficionados from over the region, Da Boss’s personal collection of mostly American-made classics, which included his treasured 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air in fire engine red, was on display in front of his mansion. Photos and videos of the insane automobiles, trucks, and motorbikes on exhibit at the one-day event have taken over social media. Some of the vehicles include a massive yellow Ford truck designed in the Tonka style, a purple Lamborghini Huracán featuring an airbrushed likeness of Kobe Bryant, and a lime green C8 Corvette Z06. Ross had a Bell Air-style golf cart that was hard to miss as it zoomed around his large property.
As with more conventional Concours d’Elegance-style motor shows, awards were also given out. Ross posted a photo of an I95 Motorsports-customized 1975 Chevrolet Caprice Classic on Instagram. The lowrider features an exterior that is emerald green like a chameleon and an inside that is green leather with lots of gold accents. The convertible was duly named “Best Donk” (a modified Chevrolet Caprice or Impala from the mid-1970s is referred to as a “donk”).
Unlike the previous year, the event was considerably more than just a vehicle display. Ross played with Meek Mill, Gucci Mane, and, of course, Gucci Mane at a concert. This year’s Rick Ross Car & Mike Show attendees got to see a rodeo as well.
Ross should be happy with how things worked out, especially since there was real concern a few weeks ago about the event’s future. The rapper’s initial request for a permit to hold the event was initially denied by Fayetteville County authorities due to traffic and safety concerns. He was given a permit after securing more security, transit, and parking lot access.
For the event the following year, which Ross says would include cars from Tyler the Creator’s private collection, plans are already being made.
