Hulk Hogan's car collection was just like him - muscly and loud - adding to his impressive net worth
Hulk Hogan with The Hulkster Hulk Hogan has passed away at the age of 71. While the cause of death is yet to be revealed, it's assumed that a massive cardiac arrest led to his sudden demise. He leaves behind a family - his wife, Sky Daily, and his children - Brooke and Nick. At the time of his death, Hogan had a net worth of $25 million. From liquid assets to real estate to his impressive car collection, they all added to his fortune. Let's take a look at all that Hulk Hogan has left behind. Hulk Hogan's spectacular collection of cars From "The Hulkster" - a red and yellow 1994 Dodge Viper RT/10, that paid tribute to his wrestling persona, to his other muscle cars, Hulk Hogan's car collection was impressive, to say the least. And while Hulk Hogan had quite the collection of Dodges and Plymouths, he didn't hesitate to show off with machines like a Porsche 911 Carrera, a Ferrari 360 Spyder, and a Lamborghini Gallardo. His garage was a mirror image of himself: over-the-top and loud. Now let's take a look at all the cars his garage has housed until now.

And while personally things had taken a nosedive for him, he soon gained his footing and got back in the game. In 2016, he won an amazing $115 million from the magazine Gawker, which had released his sex tape after Hogan sued them. He also earned around $2.5 million annually in recent years, thanks to his WWE Legends contract, various endorsements, and multiple entrepreneurial efforts like Hogan's Beach Shop and The Real American Beer. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why Walgreens Hides This Cheap 87¢ Generic Cialis Health Alliance by Friday Plans Learn More Undo Both brands found success - his bar and restaurant business even saw expansion, as the Hogan's Beach brand got into retail, and the veteran star opened shops in both Orlando and Clearwater, Florida. His beer company, which was relatively new, also found its niche in the business and has been doing pretty well. That, along with his real estate and, of course, his impressive collection of cars, all added to Hulk Hogan's massive net worth over the years.

‘So Do Not Forget It:' Lamborghini Owner Says This Is How Much Gas Caps Are. So Why Isn't It Attached to the Car?
A Lamborghini owner shared the staggering price of their Lamborghini Gallardo's gas cap, which doesn't come attached to the car. No Average Joe (@noavgj0e) uploaded footage of the cap in question in a viral TikTok that's accrued over 402,000 views on the popular social media platform. Numerous other users on the application who replied to his post were shocked at the price tag the gas cap carried. At the same time, others couldn't fathom why the manufacturer wouldn't design a cap that was attached to the vehicle. Joe's video begins with a recording of him filling up at a gas station. Resting on top of the pump is a metallic gas cap for the '06 Lamborghini Gallardo he features in several different videos on his TikTok page. Next, he grabs the cap as he begins to demonstrate that the cap isn't connected to the vehicle. When unscrewed, it is fully separated from the car. Next, he shows the cap off on camera. It is emblazoned with the text, 'Lamborghini.' Next, he narrates, 'So, fun fact: The gas cap on the Lamborghini that goes right in here? 600 bucks for just this piece, so do not forget it,' he says as he screws the cap back into the vehicle. Does the Lamborghini Gallardo Gas Cap Cost That Much? Motor1 performed a quick perusal of 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo gas caps, and they aren't cheap. This eBay listing has a cap, which is also used for the Murciealgo and Diablo, for $500, plus $13.99 shipping and handling. Missing from the cap's design, however, is the word 'Lamborghini' written on it. Reid Performance appears to have the same one in the eBay listing, which doesn't feature the Lamborghini logo on it, for $420. Another website, Parts Link Enterprises , has a listing for 2004-2014 Lamborghini Gallardo, Murcielago, and Diablo gas caps with the logo printed on the fuel cover for $499.99. However, the website indicates that the part is indeed sold out. And there was another eBay listing for this same style of gas cap that asked folks to shell out $399.01 for the cap. These aforementioned Lamborghini vehicles aren't the only cars from the manufacturer that have high gas cap costs. For instance, there's this eBay listing for a Lamborghini Urus carbon fiber gas cap that retails for a whopping $1,900 . Unlike the Gallardo that Joe showed off in his clip, however, this cap seems to have some type of attachment mechanism to keep it from separating from its vehicle, making it more difficult to lose. Have Lamborghini Owners Lost Their Gas Caps? Unfortunately, there appear to be more than a few folks who've left their gas caps behind, only to realize this error later. Users in this Lamborghini-Talk forum thread opined on the gut-wrenching discoveries that their Gallardos were gas cap-less upon filling up. One person asked if anyone on the forum knew of a place that sold gas caps for these vehicles, as they weren't exactly enthused about having to fork over $600 for a new one. 'Does anyone know where i could get one of these? There is one for sale on eBay I put a bid on. Hopefully it won't go up too high. I am just trying to avoid paying $600 for a gas cap,' they penned. Someone else shared an anecdote with a friend of theirs who ended up in the same predicament. They stated that their pal, indeed, ended up shelling out the six Benjamins for the costly error. 'Friend of mine had a similar thing happen on his 08 SL. He realized within five minutes. But when he came back the gas cap had been stolen. I know he sucked up the $600.00,' they wrote. Why the Gallardo Is One of the Most Affordable Lamborghinis You Can Buy If you've ever dreamt of owning a Lamborghini, there are some who'd argue that the Gallardo is one of the most economical examples you could purchase. Well, about as economical as one could be for a vehicle with a supercar price tag. Edmunds has a 2004, 29K-mile model listed for just under $100,000. You can get a 2012 edition with almost double the amount of mileage for $10K more. This blog post explains why older Gallardos retail for much less than their counterparts. That's because when the Gallardo first debuted, it was deemed as a less powerful variant of the Murcielago (you know, the one Bruce Wayne drives in The Dark Knight ). The Gallardo was one of the first Lamborghinis introduced to the market that directly shared a lot of its DNA with Audi vehicles after Volkswagen acquired the Italian automaker. Since the Gallardo was $166,000 when it was first introduced, it was the best-selling Lamborghini from the brand that had ever been introduced, with 14,000 total sold. This means that because there are more of them on the market than, let's say, a Diablo , supply and demand dictate that Gallardos won't burn as big a hole in your bank account. Although at the end of the day, it's still a Lamborghini, so there are upcharges associated with its various components. Commenters React Numerous folks who responded to Joe's video couldn't get over the fact that an over $100,000 car's gas cap is so easily lost. 'If i'm spending that much for a car, all the pieces better be attached to it,' one penned. Someone else echoed the aforementioned sentiment, writing: 'The most basic of cars come with a place to hang the gas cap. You paid what and it doesn't even have a place for the gas cap while you're putting fuel in?' they asked. Another remarked that they couldn't even imagine ever losing a gas cap themselves. '$1 or $600, shouldn't forget your fuel cap,' they wrote. And then there was this TikToker who urged folks to simply use Volkswagen's ownership of the Lamborghini brand to their advantage. If they ever needed parts, simply buy the VW equivalent. 'If you ever need new parts for the Lamborghini don't pay the ridiculous price. They use a ton of cross referenced VW parts that are just marked up. Find out the part number you need then see if there's a VW part number for the same part for 90% less cost,' they wrote. Motor1 has reached out to Joe via TikTok comment for further information. Now Trending 'Currently Waiting for the Cops:' Truck Runs Through Woman's Yard at 55 MPH and Takes Off.

Lipscombe Larder's John Spiro Fiotakis on trial for Lamborghini insurance fraud
Don't miss out on the headlines from Tasmania. Followed categories will be added to My News. Phone records of the Fiotakis family and a witness to a 2019 Lamborghini crash at the centre of an alleged insurance fraud case have been read out in court, showing the movements of each person before a call was placed to triple-0. It was Constable Damien McVilly's turn to give evidence on Wednesday, the third day of the trial of 64-year-old Hobart businessman and Lipscombe Larder owner John Spiro Fiotakis. Fiotakis has pleaded not guilty to one count of attempting by deception to acquire a financial advantage from Allianz Australia Insurance, following allegations he falsely stated he was driving the $239,000 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo vehicle when it crashed into a tree on Pittwater Rd in 2019. Constable McVilly, a Detective Constable in the Bellerive criminal investigation branch at the time of the incident, was one of the first officers on the scene of the car fire. As part of his investigation into the sports car crash, Constable McVilly obtained telecommunications records for the mobiles of Mr Fiotakis, his two sons Nicholas and Spiro, wife Teresa as well as Seven Mile Beach resident Luke Butcher. Prosecutors claim the vehicle was actually being driven by the defendant's then 24-year-old son, Spiro, who was not covered by the vehicle's insurance policy which stipulated drivers must be aged 25 and over. From the records Constable McVilly obtained through Telstra, he told the court he was able to make a map and timeline of the time surrounding the 2019 crash. 'From Luke and Shane's statements, there was a discrepancy in the timeline in that there was around a 20-minute gap from when the crash happened and when triple triple-0 were called,' Constable McVilly told prosecutor Edward Burrows-Cheng. 'That suspicion led me to further investigative tactics and obtaining telco records.' The documents read out in court revealed a 21-minute phone call between Mr Fiotakis' son Spiro and Mr Fiotakis at 8.07pm, shortly before the crash. Spiro's call bounced from a phone tower in Sorell before the call ended at a Richmond phone tower. At 9.02pm, a 155-second call between Nicholas Fiotakis and John Fiotakis shows Nicholas' call bouncing from a Mt Rumney phone tower for the call duration, while John's phone connected to the Wrest Point tower and the Davey Street tower at the end of the call. Further call records show John's phone call triple-0 and connect to a tower in Mt Rumney from the start to the end of the call. 'This helped me show that the mobile devices prescribed to John had gone from Hobart then Mt Rumney,' Constable McVilly said. Defence counsel James Crotty questioned Detective McVilly on whether phone records would show who was actually using the phone, arguing that Mr Fiotakis gave evidence to the officer of accidentally swapping phones with Spiro. 'My recollection in conversations with John was that at some point, they had in fact switched phones,' Detective McVilly said. 'He and Spiro had switched handsets by accident, I don't recall about him leaving his handset at the Sandy Bay address. The prosecution and defence will give their closing arguments on Wednesday afternoon.

‘Dangerous precedent set': Case filed in Gurgaon as viral video shows Lamborghini speeding
A viral video of a speeding yellow Lamborghini Gallardo on the Golf Course Road in DLF Phase-1 in Gurgaon has drawn the police's attention. A case has been filed against an unknown driver for 'reckless driving' and 'endangering lives,' said officers. 'The driver's actions have not only endangered lives but also set a dangerous precedent by gaining fame through such reckless behavior,' stated the FIR filed at DLF Phase-1 Police Station on Monday, as it highlighted violations of traffic and public safety laws. According to the FIR, the complaint was lodged by Head Constable Jaivir. Station House Officer (SHO) Inspector Rajesh Kumar Bagri said the police took a suo motu note of the undated incident, and an investigation is underway to trace the luxury car's owners. 'Across the city, there are only four such owners whose descriptions seem to match. The rest have Lamborghinis of different colours. We have contacted three of then and verified that they weren't involved after getting details from the transport department… one is now left,' he said, adding, 'We will also look at such vehicles registered in Faridabad.' Police have invoked sections 125, 281, and 57 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for endangering lives, reckless driving, and aiding the commission of an offence, respectively. In his complaint, the Head Constable stated that the driver, whose identity remains unknown, was filming the drive, and the vehicle's number plate was not visible in the footage. The viral clip is said to have 'wrongly influenced' others to create similar content, posing a threat to passersby, it added. The SHO said Section 57 had been invoked due to the alleged role played by the driver's friends as well as those driving around him at the time. 'In a bid to go viral, they were promoting and causing criminal activity. Some cars were trailing behind the car in what seems like a coordinated effort to look cool, so we are probing that as well.'
