A Car Made Of Wood

Goodbye Bentley!

When Paris Hilton was in Vegas, she lost her Bentley.

How?

Rumors say that it was during a poker game. If it’s true then her luck in gambling just ran out. That’s saying goodbye to some $200,000 which is the tag price of her Bentley GT.

Don’t worry about Paris. She’s got back up. She still has got a Mercedes Benz SLR.

Fast facts:
Bentley GT is a two-door coupe. Has a 2+2 seating capacity. It holds a 6 liter W12 engine with twin turbochargers. Also is the first Bentley to have a four wheel drive.
