Celebrities and the lives they lead are often put under the microscope. As a fan, one cannot help but be curious about the likes and dislikes of their favorite stars. Wrestler-turned-actor John Cena has had a wide-ranging career, however, many in the wrestling community are still unaware that he once had an automotive show on YouTube, titled Auto Geek, where the Peacemaker reviewed cars.

With an estimated net worth of $80 million, John Cena has indulged in his love for cars. From a rare Plymouth and Mustang to a highly customized Rolls Royce, his collection boasts a fleet of American muscle cars and luxury European cars. A man of varying tastes, Cena’s impressive fleet of cars is filled with machines that have a sense of history attached to them.

John Cena seemingly loves his classic cars more than the rest. During a recent interview with Andrew Santino, Cena revealed two of his most cherished treasures, a classic Civic Type R and a Lamborghini Countach worth 2.6 million. Contrastingly, Roman Reign’s most valued car, a Range Rover Autobiography, costs $140,000. The Tribal Chief, who is also an avid car collector, pales in comparison to Cena.

Detailing his experience of riding cars, the 45-year-old noted, ‘I like archaic stuff, but it’s also really unreliable, my daily driver is a Civic Type R, it’s not tech, it’s got a third pedal, at 145 it’s stable like it goes, it’s got seats in the back I can actually pick people up yeah you know.’ Talking about the Countach, he stated, ‘if you have a purse in a Countach, you’re screwed, and they are a little bit rough around the edges.’

‘The clutch is a dogfight, and it’s really tough to get these things running right like they’re always in the shop it’s always leaking some sort of fluid somewhere. Yeah, if I actually need to drive a car on a distance more than like 10 miles specific, it’s the Civic Type R,’ Cena added.

The idea of riding an old-model classic car fascinated the host. He further asked Cena if he could drive the Countach. The former WWE star, however, didn’t give approval, stating, ‘It’s a tough drive, I can’t say yes. If you never had an experience with that clutch, I don’t want mine to be the first time. Alright, those who know what I am talking about it’s really like nothing you gave ever driven before in a difficult way.’

A brief glimpse of John Cena’s luxurious car collections

Credit can be given to Cena’s hefty paychecks for maintaining this high-profile hobby of collecting cars. Through his YouTube series named ‘John Cena Auto Geek’, the car enthusiast featured and reviewed some of his favorite cars from his collection. A few of his iconic cars include the Rolls-Royce Phantom, Lamborghini Lamborghini Gallardo, Maserati GranTurismo C-MC Stradale, and the Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography Ultimate Edition.
