Somebody Bought Ricky Bobby's Talladega Nights Home For $4 Million
Somebody Bought Ricky Bobby's Talladega Nights Home For $4 Million-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:16

Dear , the newest owner of Ricky Bobby’s monstrous lakefront mansion from Talladega Nights thanks you and your tuxedo T-shirt for blessing them with the $4 million it took to buy the thing.

(Just kidding. Who knows if the new owner of this house prays to sweet Lord Baby Jesus. But whomever they’re praying to, if anyone, it’s working.)

Talladega Nights, as you probably haven’t forgotten, is a 2006 movie that follows the life of fictional NASCAR star Bobby when a new driver enters the picture and ends up, directly and indirectly, making him lose his legendary status, dignity, home, job, wife—you know, everything. He even delivers pizzas for a while.

But before Bobby lost everything, he was thanking the 8-pound, 6-ounce infant Christmas Jesus for the $21.2 million he made during the race season in his huge North Carolina mansion. (That’s an for a top driver in NASCAR’s highest level, the Cup Series.)

This 9,802-square-foot home on about 1.3 acres in a gated community, with its five bedrooms and nine different bathrooms, was the one Bobby said his prayers in—until his best friend , of course.

The online listing says in addition to all of the other areas we didn’t get to see in the movie, the mansion has its own “owner’s lakeside retreat” with a private study, huge bathroom, balcony, fireplace and three closets. It also has a private beach and two piers, because, according to the realty group that sold it, another home used to sit on the property and used the second one.

The house sold for under list price, which the reports was $4.5 million originally and went down to $4.2 million during almost a year of it being on the market. Down another few million and the rest of us might have been able to afford it, right?

That’s what we have to keep telling ourselves.

I first saw this car beating Ferrari 250s in September . By the end, she was damaged at the rear corner. By , they managed to buff that out, so she could race full on again. There’s nothing like it. After Giotto Bizzarrini and Renzo Rivolta took separate ways, the...

McLaren Dumps The Chrome For Badass New Red And Black Livery
Like everyone else, I was pretty amped to see the return of the partnership in Formula One. But I couldn’t have been the only one disappointed in their chromed-out livery, which looked pretty dull overall and too similar to their 2014 car. Ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend,...
