Victoria and her signature car have taken the checkered flag of the YouTube Chrysler 300 Spin It Your Way online contest. The SmackDown Diva is thrilled her Black Widow Customs 2006 Chrysler 300C Hemi will be showcased in November at the prestigious L.A. Auto Show.
“I put my heart, my design, my flavor on this car,” she said. “As for the news, Chrysler contacted me, and they posted it on their Web site. I knew we got the most hits, thanks to WWE.com. It’s awesome. It’s an awesome feeling. This is huge for me. The car is totally me, with the spider, the black widow, it’s kind of evil, yet fun and flirtatious!”
The Diva said she’s received many requests to tour her dark and sexy ride from around the country, but naturally she’s most excited for the L.A. Auto Show.
“It’s a beautiful car, but I didn’t expect this reaction, though. I get to show it at the L.A. Auto Show!” she said with a smile. “I’ll definitely be there, signing some autographs, pimping out my car. I’ll probably do the inside of my car a little bit more. We did my Chrysler in only a week. We only had seven days to do it before the contest ended, but I think we did a good job.”
The first time Victoria drove a Chrysler 300 was as a rental car while traveling with WWE. The ruthless Diva said she was immediately sold on the stylish and powerful vehicle.
“Because of my job, I am very blessed that I get to pick the car I want to drive, and my top choice is the Chrysler 300 with a Hemi,” she said. “I love that car, and I love it more and more. You should see the looks I get when I’m out riding around on the streets. It’s a badass car.”
In addition to thanking Chrysler, Victoria expressed her gratitude for her fans who voted her straight to the top.
“I would like to thank the Widow’s Peak Freaks out there, my fans, for helping me get the most votes,” she said.
The grand opening of Victoria’s new business venture has been delayed, but she promises Black Widow Customs will open its doors in Louisville, Ky., very soon.
“We’re looking to open Black Widow Customs in May. We’re getting the city’s OK on the building. We’re just waiting for that. Once it starts, it’s going to take off,” Victoria cheered. “I’m working on my Web site for it, black-widow-customs.com. … It’s going to be big, man!”
