Nelly, and his new Ford Flex
Nelly received a nice treat by Ford Vehicles recently at his 34th birthday celebration in Las Vegas – his very own customized Ford Flex.
His vehicle was unveiled at the Specialty Equipment Market Association show there, while his St. Lunatics partners and Avery Storm surrounded him.
The rap superstar was also presented birthday cake in the shape of his Ford Flex.
The custom vehicle is blue with a white roof, with black leather interior, 22-inch wheels, and a special applique on the roof.
Nelly first eyed the Flex at a Ford event in Atlanta earlier in the summer. “When I saw it, I said ‘Yo, that’s hot. How can I get one of those?’ ”
Apparently, all it takes is being Nelly.
Kevin C. Johnson has covered the St. Louis' music and nightlife scene for the past decade. 
Hey Nelly, Can I get a ride? LOL!
SO…sorry I’m hatin right now
I’m conused on why people with money always keep getting free ish…LOL
Ms STL,
Why do I always wonder the same thing?
So I am thinking the same thing, Ford is one of the big three with their hands out for some bailout money, but they can give a vehicle to someone who can buy a 100 of them. They could at least give it to someone who is down on their luck. I own a Ford and I hope they go down in flames. Maybe Nelly will give it to someone in need.
Look at all the good publicity (advertising) Ford get’s for what?… the cost of one vehicle? That’s a smart move by Ford.
