If you were to look up the word macho in the dictionary, what you’d likely see is a picture of Sylvester Stallone. Starting even before the Rocky movies, Sly was defining “cool” while guys like Jason Statham and Terry Crews were running around in short pants.

So, when a guy like this needs to get around, he’s likely to eschew the chauffeur-driven limousine and pick something more appropriate to his image. In a city where high-end Porsches are considered a kind of minimalist entree, Sly was driving a modified Camaro SS around recently. It really is hard to imagine him in an Audi A8 or something.

Now approaching his mid-60s, Stallone continues to direct and act in big screen efforts. His most recent film, The Expendables, has him credited as a co-writer, director and actor. The film is about a group of elite mercenaries assigned to overthrow a Latin American dictator.

In the style of the blockbuster action films of the ’80s and early ’90s, it gathers a who’s-who of cinematic cool, including Dolf Lundgren, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Randy Couture, Eric Roberts, Jason Statham and Steve Austin, plus cameos by perennial cool dude Bruce Willis and former bodybuilder-turned-actor-turned-ex-governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Vin Diesel might have a tough time fitting in with that crowd.

In case you’re wondering, Stallone’s perpetual facial expression is a result of nerve damage suffered at birth. While the result plagued him in early life, it has paid back handsomely over the past forty years.
