FREDDY WILL’s TEN MOST FAVORITE RYDES… guaranteed to leave a great impression.
You’ve probably heard the slogan that goes something like, ‘THE BEST WAY TO GAGE A MAN’S PERSONALITY (by personality I mean character, not wealth) IS BY CHECKING OUT WHAT HE DRIVES’. Yeah I know, it's not just men, women too. In order words your pick at a dealership can say a lot about who you are as a person. In my personal experience I've found that, that slogan is true for a majority of people around the world. Women use it to gage a man's prowess all the time. In Asia, it’s true, it's true in the EU, it’s true in Moreover, to be fair I must add that I think some of my female Canadian friends will probably argue this out more vehemently than others because I've heard them all use the same power stripping line everytime this subject came up – ‘I don’t care how much money a man has or how big his house is or what he drives’. My impression is my female friends from Canada probably think that by refusing to acknowledge a man for what he has they're displaying moral standards ie; they're not golddiggers and that way they can have the upper hand in whatever relationship from the get go because they have already eliminated your clout. Money equals power and power equals respect for many in other parts of the world but I’ve notice that in
This notion is a few altitudes above an average Joe who buys a hoopty on the side of the road or average Mary who goes to the dealership for one car and drives away in another. By all means I do respect those who say 'I don't care what kind of car it is, as long as it works and it gets me to my destination'. Its important to note also that, that attitude in itself speaks volumes about your character. You can tell a lot about a person's character just by checking out what they ride and how they customize it to fit their preferences. And just because someone has a liking for better cars that does not necessarily mean they're materialistic.
And in my twisted little head I have to recognize that this is a ploy because one, they’ve got it down with solidarity and two, if you wanna be the one with power, you must first disregard whatever makes the other person more powerful than you. Stripping psychological prowess associated with expensive toys can probably create an imbalance wherein one can have what should make them more powerful but then not be as powerful or influential because they don't physically belong to the elite inner circles that are deemed exceptional. Nevertheless, I have a set of cars that I feel will drop any jaw be it a Canadian who could care less or someone from elsewhere in the world who would adore me for it.
10. 1990 Chevy Caprice – I can’t believe I still love this car. I use to love every American classic that was manufactured in the late 60's, the 70's and the early to mid 90's. But then 2004 came and now I don't want to see anything that was made before 2004. This is the only car that I would not mind getting even though it's a 90's model. I'll take a black on black 1990 Caprice with spoke rims any day. It rides real smooth, its inexpensive but still classy to a point where you can own one and fit in with your affluent friends. I love good handling on a ride, throttle, less noise, low carbon emissions, less mpg, a booming musical system, speed and power to feel in control when it comes to my ride. The handle on the Caprice is incredible. If you know me well you’ll know that I won’t buy a ride if it does not also have wood grain, leather seats and power windows at the least. I can do without GPS or Tom Tom navigation but not the leather, full power and wood grain. That's going with the assumption that you already know I won't even consider a car if the engine was malfunctioning for any reason be it minor or major.

9. Chevy Camaro – This is definitely my kind of ride as well. Its fact, spray it Caribbean yellow with light tints on the windows and I'm in. The handle is sweet on the Camaro. you can’t go wrong with this one. A convertible will be even better for me. Most hard core Chevy drivers go for the 1968 model or something from the 70's but me, I want the newest one. I use to be crazy about the mid 90’s models for a long time but right now I’m only down with 2007 to 2010 models. I can dress casual in a pair of jeans, leather boots, a crispy white t-shirt and a vintage leather jacket and hop into this car on any day and the only thing I will be missing is a hot pair of sunglasses. Again, this is assuming that there was not that much snow or rain to deal with. Shoot, I definitely think that the impression this ride leaves behind is enough to get me through any VIP entrance.

8. Jaguar S type - Candy red, late model, special edition luxury brand. Maybe even a hybrid if it's available. Want my speakers to blast though, my leather seats should be sleek with good wood grain on the doors, steering and the dash with full power. I don't believe that global warming can be reversed since dinosaurs didn't drive around in Hummers but I will do whatever it is to cut carbon emissions in our atmosphere because I'm a team player. However, I prefer my cars to come with automatic transmission as opposed to a stick shift. Back in the day I use to love stick shifts but now I think automatics won't hurt. I'll have this car in a four door sedan with tinted windows. Not my everyday ride but it ranks high on my list. Won't want it to be a family car either. I want this one to be a personal ride or maybe even my significant other's personal ride.

7. BMW 750i v12 – With all the talk about global warming and climate change I do not want to be the guy who is driving the sick ride that's making the hole in the O zone bigger. But I'm not getting on the bus until law makers are not blocking traffic in thirty car SUV motorcades. This is class right here. I don’t wanna see any car if it was made sooner than 2004. There are too many early model BMWs on the roads, I definitely don’t want one unless it was pretty new and by new I mean a fully loaded late model 7 series like this one. This can be my solo for do lo business car. Whether I have to discuss business in via bluetooth on the freeway or make an entrance at a business extraviganza where there is valet parking, I will bring this ride out for the ride. Not too extravagant but not very simple either. Burns low on gas and it rides smooth.

6. Dodge Viper – I'm an old school OG baby. As far as sports coups go, I go for muscle and speed. Throttle is what drives me wild. The viper is my all time ‘me and my bitch ryde’ that's sure to make a girl go oops like Tweet. Yeah I know, every big boy needs a Phantom or a Maybach but Freddy Will is getting it done with the Viper baby. This will be my party ride, something I drive to a club or a lounge especially if I’m meeting new people and wanted to burn rubber and show off a little throttle. I hate family sized sedans that look like the one auntie Ruby goes grocery shopping in. However, this car cannot be my only car because I wouldn't want to be flying around everyday. This is the one I bring out on that special occasion when I'm meeting someone who treasures material things or when I make a power move. This is one ride that I can honestly say I've always loved with a passion.

5. Cadillac Escalade – When it comes to luxury SUVs this one definitely makes my cut. I have to admit that my favorite Cadillac brand is the De ville but I will go ahead and pick the new Escalade because it's a solid ride. Cars have a way of depreciating in value soon after you buy them so I try not to spend more than $ 65, 000 on one. I don't like to finance cars either. Haven't financed a car in almost ten years. Trust me, if you work a certain 9-5 and you need transportation to work or you have a busy family and you need a family car, then by all means do what you got to do. I hate to have to apply for credit and then deal with the chance that I may or may not qualify for what I want. If I want it badly then everything in my way is dust. Plus I see credit as a last resort option for a desperate emergency. I think if you don't have the money to buy it outright and there is no tragic emergency pending then there is no need to apply for credit to finance a car. But that's me. The Escalade is something that I would drive because it is affordable, its comfortable and when I have my own family someday it will be roomy enough to protect us when we travel.

3. Mercedes Benz Ml 320 – This was my dream car in the early 2000's then it became my everyday all day ride at one point. I will always go back to this ride. Handle, stability, speed, you name it. This five seated luxury baby is that all purpose ride you would love to have. Be it a business road trip, a gala, a night at the club or just something to rent when you're in Europe or Australia, this SUV is your ever dependable, high end capsule which will get you from point A to point B in style and swagger. It's a Benz so it would impress many people right off the bat and they won’t look low on you in anyway. I still won't touch anything manufactured sooner than 2004 though. This is something I’ll buy as a present for someone special. Yes I'll take this one any day, bulletproof it!

2. Porsche Cayenne – Another SUV that I find very appealing. This is the only SUV that might pry me out of my Lincoln Aviator. With the MKX and MKZ out there right now, that says a lot about my love for the Cayenne. I would basically take anything with a Porsche logo on it. It’s not an Ml or an Aviator, and it's not very roomy in the back but the engine on this baby is so sweet I would not need that extra room since I ain't riding around with a car full of homies in this one. The Cayenne is a five seater, dependable, luxury ride that will work any magic you need to leave a lasting impression. I like my Cayenne to be paid off and made in 2006 at least. Be it to bag that that stubborn chick from the library (not my Canadian female friends of course) or you want something sexy for the fun date or a family/personal car. This fully loaded ride will impress anyone on sight and it will get you to your destination with low gas, spilling less carbon into the O zone and in style. Put me down for the 2010 Porshe Cayenne people, in Jesus name! Amen!
1. Aston Martin – Believe it or not I’m not one who craves a super extravagant/ very, very expensive ride like a Rolls Royce or a Lambo for example. Yeah I might rent one or take it for a spin during a music video or if I’m on vacation in

From where I stand, you don’t have to care how much money I have or what cars I drive or where I live at but if you’re gonna last in my world you better respect my hustle and have some kind of reverence for my hard work. So yeah I do speak from an international stand point since the context is applicable in the majority of the continents. After traveling to all the places where I’ve lived I tend to look beyond borders and jurisdiction when I do my thang…
So, that being said, I will make this confession… I am a car guy. Sure, music is my life and I enjoy writing as much as I love to perform on stage. But when I’m not being a CEO or an artist or an author or a blogger and I’m just at home watching ESPN or I’m getting ready for a hot date, one of the first things on my mind besides sipping cold beers while packing away a big scoop of mash potatos sitting next to the chef’s cut of a juicy prime ribs, you guessed it, ding, ding, ding… Its my car. Some cars are dream cars and others are collectables while the rest completes my big boy status. I feel my cars should be right for me and not just be trend based.
