Lady Gaga is no stranger to turning a few heads, but she drew some attention for reasons other than a dress made from prime rib. The "Poker Face" singer was spotted driving around Beverly Hills, and although her dressed down appearance didn't cause a scene, her Audi R8 GT sports car certainly did, according to the Daily Mail.
Though she ditched the elaborate makeup and costumes for a relatively ordinary outfit, it would be hard to miss the pop star's silver Audi. The vehicle is the most expensive ride offered by the popular German automaker, and likely cost Gaga around $158,000.
The purchase is a bit unusual for Gaga, who, despite her flashy outward appearance, has eschewed buying the lavish goods that her fellow superstars do. In fact, previous to the Audi, she has said the only flashy car she bought was one for her parents.
"The only big things I’ve purchased are my dad's heart valve and a Rolls-Royce for my parents, for their anniversary," she said last year, according to The Sun. "And that was only because my dad had a Lady Gaga license plate on our old car and it was making me crazy because he was followed everywhere, so I bought him a new car."
Although not everyone can afford Gaga's new ride , that does not mean drivers should pay any less attention to their cars. Following a regular maintenance schedule is crucial to making sure your car stays in pristine condition, and New Jersey State Auto Auction's Total Car Care center provides a great opportunity to do so. With a convenient location in Jersey City and a knowledgeable staff, the shop offers everything from repairs to general upkeep.
