Where would we be without TMZ? We wouldn't know who was wearing what or who ate what where. It would be a nightmare world full of unhappiness and….wait, actually, maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

But forgetting the moral and social aspect of TMZ's army of snap-happy spies, every once in a while we get a gem like this: Ron Artest, half-wearing a full-face helmet, pulled over in an Eagle Roadster.

What's an Eagle Roadster? Glad you asked, friend! The Eagle is a 1,900 lb 1 + 1 roadster powered by a 253-horsepower 3.5-liter Chrysler iron block V6. It's got a four-speed automatic transmission and, according to their website, hits 60 in 4.2 seconds and rips through the quarter mile in 12.9 seconds at 113 mph.

The stats don't seem impressive, but consider this: 1) Ron's been pulled over (expired tags) and yet he's still smiling. 2) This dude has 5-year 33 million dollar contract. He doesn't have to settle.
