The public is constantly watching celebrities’ every move. We seem to be fascinated with them because they are living the lives we wish we had and we get to fantasize about being in their place. Often times celebrities buy extremely expensive cars because they have a large, expendable income, but these celebrities broke the mold and use cars that the public can actually afford, bringing them down to a real, personal level. Here are 10 celebrities that drive cars that you and I theoretically could own.
