Whitney Houston's 91 Tip Cab Unsold!

I don't know how I missed this little slice of 'history' . . .

Damn - All I hear about whitney is that she is losing it and all hopped up on weed and "stuff" - selling the p-car might be a good thing...

She is such a good singer

I'd check the smugglers box before I drove it anywhere...

The Greatest Love of All is your love for your 911....apparently Whitney didnt have it.

Maybe it was the tiptronic that forced her to sell. Maybe it was never her car to begin with...looks awful plain for a world famous, drug addicted, golden voiced has-been wife of a has-been R&B star. But if it is, its her perogative to sell it....

It says "non-smoker car"...I find it very hard to believe
At any rate, white and tiptronic are two big No-Nos for a 911...No wonder why it did not sell.

Whitney drives a Cayenne these days...I kid you not. Perhaps she needs it's off road ability for checking the crops?

Well, It only says "once owned by Whitney Houston", probably the first 6 months or year of the car's life. Since then it has probably had multiple "nobody" owners, so any stardust has blown off of it by now.

FWIW, back in 1990 when this car was new, Whitney was still a little goody-two-shoes, at least in image. That was before Bobby Brown got ahold of her and showed her a way to spend some of those $$zillions, you know, cars, blow, lawyers, doctors, etc...

I recall at least one instance where there was a picture of a Whitney Houston 911 cab smacked up against something, having been driven ineptly by Bobby Brown, though I think that car was raspberry color.

How about the time that Bobby borrowed the new Bentley Continental, (~$350k), in Miami and someone shot and killed one of his passengers in it. (At least I think that was the deal, memory is foggy). At any rate, I remember that it involved the G-ride getting impounded for awhile, and her getting it back much later w/ the "evidence" still intact.

I hate it when that happens.

Can you just imagine the ammo involved when those two get in one of their (infrequent) fights?

"Oh yeah?? And what about the time that you borrowed the Bentley, blah, blah......"

She may take a trade for a tricked out Escalade.
