After an e-bay auction to sell the purple 1999 Ford Mustang convertible that Eminem purchased with his first royalty check, the car has found a new home in the garage of a twelve year old in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Courtney Wittenberns, who won’t be able to drive the car until 2006, was bought the car by here millionaire father for $27,900. She told reporters: "I'll just sit in the garage and listen to music in the car and wash it." The auction took place after Eminem traded the car in to buy a Russ Milne Ford. The dealership who acquired the car decided go the eBay route, promising to donate a portion of the profits to charity. Wittenberns’ father added: "We thought it would be a nice charitable contribution, plus it'll be a killer car for Courtney. I think Eminem's great. Especially in the last couple of albums - he's made himself a little bit more kid-friendly."
