Okay so picture this: Itโs the year 1999. Y2K panic is brewing, frosted tips are thriving, and Gabrielle Union is out here running the rom-com game with โBring It On,โ โ10 Things I Hate About You,โ and โSheโs All That.โ Everyoneโs crush. Every teen movieโs MVP. Every scene? Stolen. Academy: robbed.
And thenโBOOM ๐ฅโthe first big check hits. The kind of check that makes your bank account go from โplease donโt decline this smoothieโ to โadd guac and charge me extra, Iโm rich now.โ
So what does Queen Gabrielle do? Buy a mansion? Get a diamond-encrusted pug? Invest in a tech startup?
NO. SHE BOUGHT A MAZDA.
Likeโฆ a Mazda Miata. Black-on-black. Leather seats. Real Fast & Frugal vibes. ๐ค
โI thought I made it when I had a Mazda,โ she confessed, while the ghost of her financial advisor screamed into the void.
Her dad? FULL warning mode: โDonโt do it, sis. Cars depreciate the second you blink at โem.โ
Gabrielle? Already zooming out the lot like Vin Diesel at a Forever 21.
But waitโit gets better. This wasnโt just any car. It had leather seats in the middle of Los Angeles. You know what that means? That every time she got in, she basically deep-fried the back of her thighs like some sexy rotisserie chicken. ๐๐ฅ
โEvery time I got out, I was scorched,โ she said. โIt depreciated AND it burned me.โ
Iconic behavior.
Also, in more recent and way more emotional news, Gabrielleโs been opening up about her surrogacy journey after years of fertility struggles, proving sheโs not just a legend on screen but a warrior IRL. ๐
Moral of the story? Donโt buy a Mazda on vibes alone. And always bring a towel for hot seats.
