On Saturday, the second annual Rick Ross Car and Bike Show went off without a mishap. The large audience that gathered at the rapper’s “Promise Land” estate in Fayetteville, Georgia, was treated to a concert and rodeo, as well as a gathering of some of the South’s most eye-catching vehicles.
The second iteration of the event featured more of what attendees enjoyed at the inaugural installment. Da Boss’s personal collection of primarily American-made classics, including his beloved 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air in fire engine red, was on exhibit in front of his mansion, along with hundreds of other vehicles owned by enthusiasts from across the region. Social media is filled with photos and videos of the wild cars, trucks, and motorcycles displayed at the one-day event, including a gigantic yellow Tonka-style Ford truck, a purple Lamborghini Huracán with an airbrushed portrait of Kobe Bryant, and a lime green C8 Corvette Z06. Ross’s golf cart, a Bell Air-style vehicle, was also impossible to miss as it zipped around his expansive property.
Awards were also bestowed, as they would be at more traditional Concours d’Elegance-style automobile events. On Instagram, Ross featured a customized 1975 Chevrolet Caprice Classic by I95 Motorsports. The lowrider has a chameleon-like emerald green exterior and a green leather interior with numerous gold embellishments. The convertible was appropriately awarded “Best Donk” (a “donk” is a customized Chevrolet Caprice or Impala from the mid-1970s).
The event was much more than a mere car show, as it had been the year before. At a concert, Ross performed alongside Meek Mill, Gucci Mane, and, of course, Gucci Mane. The attendees of this year’s Rick Ross Car & Mike Show also witnessed a rodeo.
We expect Ross to be pleased with how things turned out, particularly considering that the event’s fate was in serious doubt only weeks ago. Due to traffic and safety concerns, Fayetteville County authorities initially denied the rapper’s request for a permit to hold the event. After obtaining additional parking lot access, transportation, and security, he was granted a permit.
Ross is already making preparations for next year’s event, which he claims will feature vehicles from Tyler the Creator’s private collection.
