Default Michael Strahan buys a GTS on Bring a Trailer

Michael Strahan is on an episode of Jay Leno's garage talking about his love of cars (and going for a ride in Jay's Countach). He recently took delivery of this GTS purchased on BAT:

I had no idea he was such a car guy until the episode of Jay's garage he appeared on






I"m still shocked at 6' 5" tall he fit in the Countach (screen grab from the episode):

Yes, that 928GTS will fit in very nicely.

Cool. "Gapstar92", Ha I get it now.

He bid on a few other 928s over at BaT. This one by far was the one to get.

Ditto! Always loved the 840/850 series. Wanted one to go with my 89 GT back in the day. Damn ex wives....

Cool to see Strahan with interesting "older" tastes.

Good taste aside, he was a pretty amazing player.
We used to watch film on him. Instead of twenty moves he had perfected two.
Reminded me of a martial artist.

Should have bought Chuck's "Charlie Sheen" car, much better fit for a celebrity owner. And a nicer car, at that ...

Someone with that kind of money who searches out a 928 wants a car for what it is - not what it stands for. Strahan is clearly a true car guy.
