10 Beaters of Kid Rock (and 10 of his most disgusting rides)

With a 20-year career spanning more hits than misses and self-taught playing multiple instruments, Kid Rock is a true musical genius. There may be more ups than downs in his personal life, of course, and he may not be everyone's favorite poster boy, but that hasn't affected his bank accounts or his car stable in the slightest. Musically, Kid Rock is best described as eclectic. He has performed rap, hip hop, hard rock, heavy metal, country funk, and soul for almost his entire career, singing in any style that catches his fancy at any given moment.

His eclectic taste extends to his cars as well. He has top luxury models and classic pickups side by side. He has fast cars and slow cars, big cars and small cars, trucks and convertibles and whatever comes to his mind. But this is Kid Rock, a man who doesn't care what you think of him (or his cars) and goes his own way.

He likes cars, he even designed a concept for SEMA and is in love with classic oldtimers that move on four wheels. He has tried his hand at all kinds of music, a bit of acting and everything he wants to do. Some call him average and some call him one of the greatest musicians on earth. Call it what you will, but it has a great set of wheels in its stable, even if technically some of them are beaters!

20 Old Beater: 1964 Pontiac Bonneville
