Ride Me

Braves slugger Hector Olivera just came to America a year ago, but he's clearly exercising his freedom of swag ... dropping $50k to pimp out his 2016 Maybach.

Hector signed a 6 year, $62 million deal earlier this year, and dropped a chunk on the ride. But standard features weren't enough. He went to the Auto Firm in Miami to make it truly special.

Auto Firm boss, Alex Vega, says he added red and black Avorza "Honeycomb" leather, AV9 custom 23 inch wheels, plus state-of-the-art navigation and rear entertainment systems.

FYI -- the Maybach set Hector back $200k, so there's only one thing we can say about spending an extra $50k just to make it your own ...

What does Pope Francis have to do to get you in a Fiat today? The answer is, not much -- just cruising D.C. in one is enough to drive in customers.

The Pope shocked everyone when he touched down in Washington on Tuesday by scooting around town in a black Fiat 500L ... apparently reppin' for Italy, and millions of people took notice.

Safford Fiat of Tyson's Corner -- the biggest dealer in the D.C. area -- has been slammed since the Pontiff arrived. General sales manager, Mark Cowdin, tells us customers are pouring in to learn more about his Excellency's whip.

Mark says they didn't get a heads-up from corporate about Francis' chauffeur-driven wheels, but they're scrambling to roll out "Papal Deals." He says the Pontiff's visit hasn't scored them a sale yet, but thinks that will change with all the interest and the slogan -- "If it's good enough for the Pope, it's good enough for you."

We were thinking, "Fiat. Holier than thou. Plus we don't lie about emissions!"

By the way, interesting that Fiat once hired Charlie Sheen to tout its cars. Guess they've covered both ends of the spectrum now.

Pope Francis just arrived in the not-so-holy land of Washington, D.C. and he's keeping it European and austere ... chauffeured in an Italian-made Fiat.

Francis touched down Tuesday afternoon at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland before heading to the Vatican Embassy. Sticking true to his nickname of "The People's Pope" .. the Fiat 500 starts right around $20k.

Fiat motors tweeted "#blessed."

Kind of blows the Jennifer Lopez Fiat commercial away, right?

Trying to find a parking space in a big city is hard enough on its own ... but battling for one with a woman who refuses to move is just insanely infuriating.

For some reason, this woman thought it was a good idea to go head-to-head with an SUV over a parking spot in Denver, CO.

Watching this video will make you lose your mind.

The world famous Penske Wynn Ferrari showroom at The Wynn in Las Vegas needs shelter, because they're getting evicted.

Our Wynn sources say the hotel mogul has been frustrated that he's not making the best use of the 10,000 square foot space inhabited by the high-end dealership. In other words, Wynn can make a killing renting to someone else.

So the dealership has till the end of the year to skedaddle.

The Wynn's Ferrari showroom was the only dealership in Nevada. Guests had to pay $10 to browse ... Ferrari owners oogled for free.

Ben Stein learned the hard way, even with a private driver ... you can end up in an ugly car accident.

We're told Stein was in the backseat of an EmpireCLS SUV in Bev Hills when someone in a Prius flung open their car door ... striking Stein's vehicle.

We're told cops didn't show up because it was so minor -- the drivers exchanged info and left.

Ben sat patiently and the driver took him to his destination. He's fine.

One thing's for sure ... Ben didn't look too impressed ... but does he ever?

Brad Pitt just bought himself a little piece of history ... a hard to find World War II Nazi motorcycle.

The enemy bike didn't come cheap ... $385,000.

Pitt's apparently become obsessed with war memorabilia since starring in films like "Fury" and "Inglorious Basterds."

The Mirror reported he found the double-seater in Athens. It was originally used for WWII recon missions in Crete and has been stripped of its Nazi decals. Only 500 of them exist and they're considered collector's pieces ... appreciating in value as time goes by.

It looks to be in pristine shape. Germans ... they make good rides.

NY Mets superstar Yoenis Cespedes channeled his inner Xzibit ... and PIMPED THE HELL out of his new ride -- a custom built 3-wheeled beast that he's now trying to sell.

Cespedes hooked up with Alex Vega from The Auto Firm in Miami to design a 2015 Polaris Slingshot ... which they stripped down to the studs and rebuilt with custom everything.

The end result is pretty cool ... a sick Avorza sound system, crazy lower LED lights that turn the street blue, a turbo kit for extra power and a special Avorza air ride suspension.

We're told Yoenis' MLB contract prevents him from driving the car -- but he loves designing custom rides and figured it would be a fun project.

Now the guys are selling the whip -- asking price is $75k.

Bow Wow has a short attention span on the subject of all things green, because his uber-fancy BMW hybrid is a thing of the past ... because it's lost its cool factor.

We got BW out at 1 OAK in WeHo Thursday night, and he explained his new priorities, including a house that needs lots of furniture.

Rob Gronkowski isn't just about party buses and booze cruises, he can class it up sometimes ... but with a touch of Gronk thrown it in.

The New England Patriots stud recently picked himself up a new Mercedes AMG S63 from Bernie Moreno and the folks at Mercedes Benz of Berlington, MA.

Moreno tells TMZ Sports dealing with Gronk was a breeze, saying, "He’s the absolute real deal. What you see is what you get. A really nice guy who loves what he does and is as genuine as I have ever met."

As for the actual car, Moreno says it was "fully-loaded" with 577hp, rear seat entertainment system and -- in a feature that sounds like it was created specifically for Gronk -- the car comes with a small fridge in the back.

Gronk gonna Gronk.

Bow Wow's selling a car that could easily have been part of the upcoming "Star Wars" flick.

It's a 2014 BMW i8. It could be yours for around $150k. As for why he's selling it, BW needs to make room in his garage for his brand new Range Rover Autobiography.

The rapper shouldn't have much trouble unloading it at GoXmotors ... it has a carbon fiber body, cool scissor doors, and it goes 0 to 60 in 3.6 secs. -- all that and it's a plug-in hybrid to boot.

And it comes with floor mats!

Chris Brown's paint job on his old 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo really did a number on the resale price, because the fancy whip -- once worth $500k -- is barely notching six digits at auction on eBay.

The hot rod's starting bid ... only $89,999 -- or best offer -- and that's with a meager 16,457 miles. The Lambo has a 10 cylinder engine, goes 0-60 in under 4 seconds and comes with custom suede interior.

Breezy had a tattoo artist paint Tupac's "Lord Knows" lyrics on the car's hood and roof. If you're a Biggie or Kanye fan, this one's not for you.

So far not a single taker. There's still several hours left to bid and several people watching ... so, it could be yours.

Blac Chyna is making it clear ... she doesn't need a man to buy her a new car because she just picked up a new whip of her own ... a black Audi R8 Convertible. Starting price ... $130k.

The big purchase comes on the heels of the Mercedes G Wagon debacle ... where Chyna was forced to turnover her old whip to ex Tyga, who let gf Kylie Jenner drive it before gifting her a brand new Ferrari.

Looking good -- in a new whip -- is the best revenge.

11:00 AM PST: TMZ has learned the woman arrested is not a stripper, but IS an employee of the Pink Pony strip club.

Young Dro has not only royally pissed off a stripper, she says he set her up and got her arrested for weed and an illegal gun.

According to a police report, Dro was in a city near Atlanta in February when he went to a stripper friend and asked to borrow her Cadillac. She agreed, with one condition ... that he pick her up after her shift at the Pink Pony.

Dro stood the stripper up, so she used her OnStar to track down the Caddy, which she found in a parking lot. Turns out cops were interested in the car as well, because they had just seen 2 men wildly driving it. So the stripper and cops showed up at the same time.

PROBLEM: Cops saw a big bag of weed in plain view in the backseat. That triggered a search, which produced a gun that turned out to be stolen.

To the stripper's shock, cops arrested her for the ganja and the gun.

When the stripper got sprung, she filed a grand theft auto report against Dro, and cops arrested him.

An Uber would have been so much easier.

T-Pain needs a major auto-tune-up after smashing his exotic ride in a multi-car wreck ... TMZ has learned.

The crash happened last week in L.A. -- we're told a purple sedan was turning left at an intersection, and T-Pain ... driving in the opposite direction in his fancy Aston Martin ... went through the intersection and plowed into the sedan.

The impact was so hard it knocked a tire off the sedan and flung it back into a 3rd car at the light.

As for fault ... one witness claims T-Pain jumped the light and went into the intersection early -- but Pain's camp claims the sedan turned after the light turned red.

Zak Bagans is adding another twisted piece of history to his growing collection ... he's the proud owner of Dr. Jack Kevorkian's former mobile death assistance laboratory.

Zak says when he heard Les Gold from Detroit's "Hardcore Pawn" was selling the 1968 VW van ... he snatched it up for $32,500.

Dr. Kevorkian used the van during his string of 130 assisted suicides before his own unassisted death in 2011.

Zak also got the original registration and a copy of Jack's driver's license. The bad news ... the van doesn't run.

This is the second piece of historical gore the "Ghost Adventures" star scooped up this year ... back in March he bought the cauldron serial killer Ed Gein used to secrete dismembered body parts.

We're told Zak plans to use the van for a paranormal project.
