Default MY GS at Tyson's house

I did a shoot for Showtime today at Mike Tyson's house. He loved the GS.

I've ran into Mike a few times here in Cleveland back in the day! He was always a nice guy! One time he had a white Lamborghini LM002! That thing was loud!!! LOL!!!

Ha! I remember that thing. He drove it (or one just like it) to a workout at the Golden Glove gym here in the 90's. It was a POS and wouldn't start when he was ready to leave. He was pissed. He showed up the following week with a new Jaguar XJ220. He said he had just picked it up at the airport and had paid $1 million for it. Back then, that was chump change to him.

Nice...
More info on your shoot!
Is it going to be like a 30 for 30 or something like that?

One of my favorite quotes of all time is Mike's:

'Everybody has a plan until they get hit in the face'.

A surprisingly poignant snippet of wisdom from an unexpected source.

Still loves to spin the yarn, these cars were $500, 000 ish tops ($470,00 BP). However given his lack of apparent business sense they damn sure could have sold it to him at that price
