Queen Latifah loves Mustangs!
Not the horses but that iconic muscle car that just celebrated its 45th anniversary this year as one of the industry's most successful nameplates. Word of the Queen's affinity for Mustangs spread near and far. A few of her majesty's subjects over at Ford Motor Company got wind of this news and presented her with a hot 2010 Mustang GT.
Latifah was already the proud owner of a classic '65 Mustang but wanted the 2010 version to drive in an extended video version of her new song 'Fast Cars.' The Queen made out like a bandit big time! Not only did she get the car, but 20-years-young NASCAR phenom Colin Braun provided her with instructions on how to hot lap the fierce ride like an old pro.
The award-winning actress and singer received her driving lesson her 2010 Mustang by participating in the "10 Unleashed" promotion, which asks enthusiasts to describe their ultimate Mustang dream experience in 250 words of less. "Queen Latifah is a fabulous actress and musician, but more importantly she stays true to herself," says Ford Mustang Communications Manager Patricia Piedrahita.
"That's what the Mustang is all about – style, power and individuality. When Queen Latifah told us she owned a classic Mustang and wanted a new one for her 'Fast Cars' video, we saw the perfect fit."
If you want to see Latifah don a helmet and 'give it to 'em' on the track, check out the video diary above and at The2010Mustang.com to experience the thrill first-hand.
"I've been a little jealous of people riding around town in their Mustangs," says Latifah. "Now I got one. No more jealousy. They can eat my dust."

Don't get it twisted, I love the Queen but we all know she can afford her own car, why not find a person who needs or deserves a free car.

I'm sure Queen remembers what happen to her brother... But, it shouldn't stop her from living.
I'm sure she is understanding of the speed etc..
Live, Love, and Laugh Queen!!
