The repo man says business is booming in a Channel 11 news report about the rise and tide of auto repossession -- the segment even features a cameo by Lil' Kim! Seems the rapper fell behind on at least four payments and when she refused to give up the keys to the $250K car, it was loaded onto a flatbed truck. She gave the repo men (who say the car is "not hers") about the same respect she gave the reporters on her doorstep, who she told to "get the f--- outta here. You are so f---ing ridiculous."
Lil' Kim has had car trouble in the past; last year she was pulled over in another car, her new Lamborghini, when police noticed her license plate was missing (turns out she didn't have her license, either). That car was allegedly a gift, as Kim's publicist claims the Bentley also was.

Her next car will be a Ford Festiva...even if she falls behind on the payments, no one would ever repo one of those pieces of shit.

Who let that nut out of jail? Put her back in!

UnrepentantFenian, you must mean the jungles of southeast Asia, since this "woman" is half mongoloid (Philipine), and was raised by her Philipine mother. You can see it in her wide, orangutang like cheekbones.
Her negro half came from the wide, expansive Savanahs of Africa. Most negros from the jungles tend to be the pygmie or twa people... short little black midgets who resemble burnt elves.

I would hardly call that a cameo - you couldn't see her at all.

Yes and No, EastRiver... Canseco just walked away from his payments. It didn't make economic sense to him to keep paying for a house who's market value was lower than his mortgage.
Did the bank initiate a foreclosure procedure? Yes. There is no Yes and No to what I said.

Don't you mean she gave the repo man the same respect she gave the reporters, whom she told...

Look for more people to follow his example, and stick it to the banks like that.
