When elite athletes surpass $1 billion in career earnings, they generally celebrate by buying something expensive, but Steph Curry isn\u2019t like that.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s earned a fortune playing basketball, but he still drives a \u2018company car<\/a>\u2018.<\/p>\n

And his company car isn\u2019t even that flashy.<\/p>\n

Mind you, there\u2019s another car in his collection that\u2019s anything but generic.<\/p>\n

What car does Steph Curry drive?<\/p>\n

When athletes (or anyone else for that matter) are hired as brand ambassadors, they get paid but they also get freebies.<\/p>\n

So when Steph Curry became a brand ambassador for Infiniti, as part of the deal, he was given an Infiniti Q50 as a company car to drive every day.<\/p>\n

According to the US Sun<\/a>, he still drives it, which is strange because the Q50 isn\u2019t even in production anymore.<\/p>\n

It was unveiled as a rebadged Nissan Skyline<\/a>, and it survived for about a decade before being discontinued.<\/p>\n

\"When<\/a>Infiniti<\/p>\n

Clearly, Curry is on the same page as Warren Buffett or even Rimac founder Mate Rimac.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re both billionaires, and yet Buffett drives an old Cadillac<\/a> while Mate Rimac drives an old BMW<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the only car in his collection<\/p>\n

We should probably point out that even though he drives a modest car on a daily basis, Curry also owns a few interesting (and expensive) vehicles.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s been spotted at the wheel of a Range Rover, a G-Wagen, and at least two Porsches \u2013 a Panamera and a 911 GT3 RS.<\/p>\n

A while back he also bought a Ford GT, which he later modified by giving it the Mansory treatment.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"When<\/a>Mansory<\/p>\n

And maybe that\u2019s the reason why he prefers the Infiniti.<\/p>\n

The Ford GT isn\u2019t subtle to begin with, but Curry took this to the next level<\/a> when he turned it into the crazy-looking monster you can see in the picture above.<\/p>\n

The paps would love this.<\/p>\n
