Before Marilyn Manson ditched Canton, Ohio, for the sunnier climes of Tampa Bay, Fla., at age eighteen, his parents -- who know him as Brian Warner -- celebrated his high school graduation by giving him a shiny red 1986 Pontiac Fiero.|
Thirteen years and 218,000 miles later, the Mansonmobile is being
auctioned off to some lucky, high-bidding fan. The opening bid for
the car, which boasts such frills as an AM/FM cassette/stereo,
flip-up sunroof, air-conditioning and power windows, is $4,000, and
it will be up for sale at auctions.marilymansondirect.com until
Sept. 10.
The two-door coupe will also come with a framed letter wherein the
androgynous rocker recounts some of his best car memories, and will
be filled with Manson t-shirts, CDs and posters.
Mr. and Mrs. Warner must be so proud.
