  2. Jacob says:

    Haha.. Soo Fiddy lied about the Ferrari Enzo in his song..

    JT needs a car shopper.. BAD! A TT?? A Wrangler??

  3. Three50Bowtie says:

    This is a lame list….there’s a lot more celebrities with a bigger fleet of polluters. Come on…JT with a Wrangler?????

  4. Allen says:

    Fifty does have the Enzo, however, this is of cars most commonly used. Thats why Leno did not make the list: most of his fleet just sits in the garage.

  5. Jeph Kryzak says:
