David Beckham Has BMW Stolen, Gets a Free Audi Q7

Another reason why it’s better to be a celebrity.  Footballer David Beckham recently had his BMW X5 stolen while he was eating lunch with his sons.  But never fear, he’s got a new ride and this one was free, with just a little catch.  Audi has offered Beckham a free Audi Q7 for the next year with only one stipulation, he has to drive the car to training every day.  Audi is the official sponsor of Real Madrid, Beckham’s football team, so it makes good commercial sense for David to be driving one.

You know, if I get my car stolen all I get is insurance paperwork & headaches.  But David Beckham gets the Audi Q7 fully loaded & worth around $122,500.  Ahhh, it’s great to be famous.  The Q7 is a 4.2FSI in ‘phantom black’ with pearl-effect paintwork and matching black leather interior.

The luxury car comes equipped with a car phone, flat-screen television, Bose stereo, satellite navigation & a keyless entry and starting system. My car comes equipped with a cell phone (which my purse is actually equipped with), a flat-screen rear window, CD player, my trusty glove compartment map navigation system & I own a key that will let me in the vehicle & allow me to access the ’starting system’.  Congrats to David Beckham.  A man that can buy his own private island, yet gets a free Audi Qt.
