The Saleen S7 - Is It Really The Bachelor Andy Baldwin's Car?

For the love of all that is good, let's put this rumor to bed about LT Andy Baldwin, this season's "The Bachelor," driving a fancy-schmancy sports car.

A source has confirmed for me that both the car and the yacht are not Andy Baldwin's. Did we really think a 30-year old making LT's pay could afford ONE of those, let alone both?

Anyone can look up the Navy's pay rates and see approximately how much LT Baldwin brings in each month. Not enough to own the roughly $600,000 car.

A simple Google search will also show you that the fancy car featured weekly on The Bachelor is actually a Saleen S7. They have a link to their press release about The Bachelor and the S7 right on the homepage.

Also, previews for next Monday's show feature Andy racing with one of the bachelorettes. Obviously, ABC is giving props to car-maker to the stars, Steve Saleen.

Just my opinion, but I think Bachelor Andy looks horribly uncomfortable stepping out of that car. It's so incongruent. He looks about as uncomfortable as my husband when I made him dress up in an inflatable bull rider costume one Halloween. (For the record, my kids loved it! Shall I post the photo here, Dusty?....)

Besides, my source tells me that Andy drives a jeep.

The Saleen? Just an over-the-top rental.

If, however, you still need proof, just hop on over to ABC's official The Bachelor website and click on "As Seen On." It says right there in plain English:
