Deadmau5 has been one busy bird these last few days. With all the relentless touring over the past few weeks, the countless coffee runs with celebrities and producers, a stunning double-album release and the prestigious opportunity to drive in the Gumball Rally 3000, Deadmau5 has been consistently in the news! And after having received the ‘Spirit of Gumball’ award for his free-spirited performance, the Mau5 has now decided to sell his iconic Ferrari 458 Spider, lovingly referred to as ‘the Purrari’!
After driving around eight cities across Europe and US, Deadmau5 made the announcement on Twitter, where he revealed his plans to sell the Purrari. Initially trying to sell his Nyan Cat coated masterpiece via eBay, the Canadian pioneer had to set up shop with Craigslist. However, hours later, even Craigslist had removed the listing of his vehicle prompting Deadmau5 to promise setting up a new site or web auction where participants can bid for the vehicle. Interestingly, Deadmau5 further announced that the winner of the bid will get to be in a special “Farewell Purrari” Coffee Run, in which the Coffee will be non-free! With an estimated price of around $350,000, the Purrari can be a fan’s dream come true of driving around with Deadmau5! So what are you waiting for, time to take out those cheque-books!
