Abramoff Scandal
Abramoff pimped his ride with $48K in custom work


Disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff loaded his 2002 BMW 745Li with more than $48,000 worth of custom work, The New York Times reports.

Thanks to high fees paid by tribes and other clients, Abramoff's pimped-out ride included these goodies:
• $19,995 for a custom-built, 15.2-inch-wide screen and manual flip-down video monitor;
• $7,390 for a hands-free cellphone system, with a docking station for his laptop and a wireless keyboard;
• $6,495 for seat-back tables;
• $4,495 for a DVD player and console; and
• $450 for tinted windows.

The cost of his indictment? Priceless.
