Ride Me

Austin Rivers got the big ol' stamp of approval from his dad and coach -- with Doc Rivers saying he's cool with the NBA star's brand new $300,000 Ferrari!

As we previously reported, Austin splurged on the Ferrari F12Berlinetta right around the time he inked his brand new $35 MILLION contract with the Clippers last month.

So, when we saw Doc at Craig's in L.A. Monday night -- we asked if he was worried about his son/star player behind the wheel of a car with a top speed of over 200 MPH!!

We also asked about Team USA -- and Doc told us who their biggest competition will be.

Kris Jenner knocked a man right out of his home and onto the street ... but it's not her fault.

Turns out the Prius owner with whom she collided last week was living in his car, and now he's car-less and homeless.

Jack Way tells us he's an actor/model in the entertainment industry, but work has been hard to come by, and he's been living in his car the last few months to make ends meet.

The Prius was totaled after Jack cut in front of Kris' Rolls at a Calabasas intersection. Here's the problem ... it appears the accident was his fault and he doesn't have collision insurance, and he doesn't have the money to get a new whip.

So, Jack's calling on friends for a place to sleep every night while he regroups. He even set up a GoFundMe.

He's also lawyering up ... he's been in touch with Larry H. Parker, who gets some people $2.1 million ...

#We'llFightForYou

Spend it if ya got it, right??

Austin Rivers would make Tom Haverford proud -- dropping some serious cash on a sick new Ferrari ... right after signing his 3-year, $35 MILLION contract with the L.A. Clippers.

TREAT YO'SELF!!!

Check out Austin's pimped out Ferrari F12Berlinetta -- which usually starts above $300,000!!!

But Austin's car is special ... he took it to the guys at Ultimate Auto in Orlando who outfitted the whip in a full matte metallic charcoal wrap, custom wheels and more. We're told the upgrades cost around $25k.

FYI, the Ferrari F12Berlinetta reportedly goes from 0 to 60 in 3.1 seconds and can hit speeds faster than 211 MPH!!!!

Austin ... be safe dude.

Dennis Rodman was driving the WRONG WAY on a California freeway during a July 20th crash ... and then FLED the scene ... officials say.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Rodman was being investigated for hit-and-run after witnesses told the California Highway Patrol they believed the NBA great was driving a white SUV that crashed on the 5 Freeway around 12:30 AM.

CHP investigators now believe Rodman WAS behind the wheel -- and was traveling northbound while in the southbound carpool lane that night.

Officials say the driver of a BMW swerved to avoid a head-on collision and hit the center divider. Rodman allegedly left the scene.

Multiple sources tell us ... Rodman was at a karaoke bar in the hours before the crash. We're guessing officials want to find out if he was drinking.

TMZ Sports obtained a photo of Rodman at the bar earlier that night holding car keys in his hand.

CHP investigators are recommending Orange County prosecutors should move forward with charges against Rodman.

Story developing ...

Another one of Johnny Manziel's expensive rides needs work after a wreck outside a famous strip club on Sunset, but Johnny's hands are clean on this one.

Caitlyn Jenner says paparazzi were a major contributing factor in her fatal 2015 PCH car crash by chasing and tailgating her ... so they should pay at least some of the damages.

Jenner filed new docs in the lawsuit filed by one of the families, claiming a number of paparazzi were driving recklessly to get the prized photo of her behind the wheel.

She called the photogs "stalkers," saying she was "visually distracted" in a situation where split seconds mattered.

Jenner also pointed a finger at Jessica Steindorff -- the woman who was driving the Prius Jenner hit -- saying Jessica was on her cell phone and sat parked on PCH when she should have been moving.

Kris Jenner is no Avis girl ... no Nissan Altima for her because her car's in the shop. Kris got a brand new Rolls ... in a glass box!!!

We got this video of the Rolls rolling down the 101 Thursday in Calabasas ... heading for Kris' nearby home where it was delivered in grand style.

We're told the Rolls involved in the crash Wednesday was totaled, and Kris was immediately in touch with the dealership. She wanted a white Rolls with a black top, and there was only one available in So. Cal.

The Rolls that crashed was only one week old. But as they say, once it leaves the lot it loses half its value, so she started fresh with an odometer registering zero.

Jacksonville Jaguars' Denard Robinson is almost off the hook in his bizarre pond accident ... 'cause all he has to do is pay a small court-ordered fine.

The 25-year-old running back was cited for careless driving after crossing a few lanes of traffic and crashing his car into a retention pond on July 3rd.

According to Florida Times-Union's Larry Hannan, Robinson just pled no contest to the citation. The judge ordered him to pay $100 fine and said he'll get no points on his driving record.

Robinson was not present in court, but sent his attorney, Henry Coxe, on his behalf. He argued Robinson's car drifted after he fell asleep at a red light ... but barely went into the water.

Coxe gave us a picture that shows where Robinson's car was when the tow truck showed up.

The Prius driver who collided with Kris Jenner Wednesday in Calabasas says it doesn't matter who caused the crash ... the person with the most power wins.

Jack -- he wouldn't give his last name -- told our photog he needs a lawyer to help determine his next move, but he frets about the clear power imbalance between him and the famous Rolls-Royce driver.

Jack's got problems ... according to all accounts, he caused the crash by cutting in front of her.

Modest Mouse lead singer Isaac Brock admits falling asleep while driving -- which caused a chain reaction wreck -- and only a stroke of luck separated him from Caitlyn Jenner's fate.

Brock dozed off Wednesday while driving in Portland, OR ... and smashed into the back of a city parks vehicle, which hit a 3rd, which hit a 4th and a 5th. From the the looks of it Brock's Land Rover got the worst of the pileup.

He told TMZ ... "I feel asleep at the wheel, nodded off and next thing I knew there was a car." He says he suffered a bruised sternum from the airbag, but says it definitely saved his life.

One other driver was hospitalized with a concussion. Police checked Brock for impairment, but he passed. He was only cited for careless driving.

It's interesting, Jenner was eventually tagged with inattentive driving for the PCH wreck last year, but due to there being a fatality ... she was initially investigated for vehicular manslaughter. The D.A. ended up rejecting the case.

Kris Jenner was just involved in a car wreck off the 101 freeway near her home and we're told the impact was bad enough that she may have broken her wrist.

Law enforcement sources tell us Kris' white Rolls-Royce collided with a Prius -- the force of the impact deployed her airbag and absolutely destroyed the front end.

A Kardashian source tells us the Prius ran a red light. A law enforcement source tells TMZ it appears Kris was driving on a surface street when the Prius cut in front of her trying to get onto the 101 and caused the collision.

We're told Kris is being treated on scene by paramedics ... who we're told did not want to remove her from the car for fear of exacerbating her injury.

Anton Yelchin's parents have lawyered up and are planning to sue Fiat Chrysler and other companies they believe are responsible for the "wrongful death" of the "Star Trek" actor.

Yelchin was killed back in June when his 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee rolled backwards at his home -- and pinned him against a security gate.

Yelchin's parents say they're going after Fiat Chrysler (which makes the Cherokee) along with manufacturer ZF North America.

They're also suing the AutoNation car retailer chain -- which is presumably where he bought the car.

The family lawyer says the Yelchins want punitive damages "for the wrongful death of their son due to significant defects" in the Jeep.

You'll recall, a class action suit was filed against Fiat Chrsyler in the days following Yelchin's death claiming the 2015 Cherokee has a faulty e-shift which makes drivers think their car is in park when it's actually in neutral.

There's only one thing crazier than spending $3.5 million on a Bugatti Gran Sport Vitesse ... spending $50k just to get the damn thing serviced ... but that's exactly what Floyd Mayweather just did.

We spoke to Obi Okeke from DoctorBugatti.com who tells us he just serviced Floyd's Bugatti ... and it came out to a little bit more than your annual trip to Pep Boys.

Here's the breakdown ... 4 2015 Bugatti tires $33k ... basic service (oil & fluid changes) $23k ... then to top it off a $3k detailing service where the damn Armor All must be made out of 24k gold.

Final price tag was well over $50k.

Wanna feel even LESS normal? Obi says he's had to start AN ENTIRELY SEPARATE COMPANY to service Floyd's cars because he has to move them around for service so often.

Just ... wow.

The Brandon Marshall vs. Antonio Brown car bet is ONE STEP CLOSER TO HAPPENING ... because the two stars spoke on Thursday to hash out the terms ... TMZ Sports has learned.

After Marshall made the initial bet, Brown told the NY Jets WR to "call me" if he was serious about wagering their expensive cars on who would have more receiving yards in 2016. Marshall put his Porsche against AB's Rolls-Royce.

Turns out, Marshall picked up the phone -- because we just spoke to Brandon who gave us the following statement:

"We spoke yesterday to work out the details of this deal. We'll let you guys know what happens."

He added, "There are so many things that make playing in the NFL fun. One of which is the game within the game. AB has taken the WR position to another level. There are a few guys who won't let him sit on top of the hill by himself. I am one of those guys."

Stay tuned ...

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Denard Robinson says he's "blessed" that he didn't hurt or kill anyone when he crashed his car into a pond earlier this month ... saying, "The situation could have been a lot worse."

Robinson spoke with reporters Thursday about the July 3rd accident -- in which his Impala drifted across several lanes of traffic and crashed into a retention pond. Cops say Robinson and a female passenger were asleep in the sinking car when help arrived.

"I fell asleep at the light ... I was at the light sitting there waiting and I ended up dozing off. It was late at night and I had a busy day. It was one of those days where I should’ve just stayed in."

He was also adamant he was NOT under the influence of drugs or alcohol -- saying, "If that was the case, I would’ve had a DUI."

FYI, Robinson was not arrested -- as the responding officer did not believe Robinson showed signs of intoxication.

Still, Denard says he's happy no one was hurt.

"I feel blessed, because it could have been a situation where I wasn’t talking to you right now ... The situation could’ve been way worse."

"I could’ve hurt somebody or killed somebody, so I’m truly blessed that nothing happened to nobody. I came out with no scratches and my passenger was the same way."

Antonio Brown says he's ready, willing and able to accept Brandon Marshall's Porsche vs. Rolls-Royce bet ... but he's not sure the NY Jets star is being serious.

Marshall went on Instagram and challenged the Steelers superstar to make a car bet over who will have more receiving yards in 2016 -- Brandon's Porsche versus Antonio's Rolls.

So, we reached out to Brown ... and here's what he told us:

"He don't really wanna do that. He just wants some PR. He too old to be doing that."

Brown also noted, "The RR is about $100k up [from the value of the Porsche]."

"If he really serious, CALL ME ... I'll gladly accept. Don't Internet it."
