Comedian Pete Davidson is known for his edgy humor and high-profile relationships, but his car collection reveals a surprisingly grounded and thoughtful side. From owning iconic vehicles used in The Sopranos to meticulously customizing a family-friendly minivan, Davidson’s automotive tastes blend nostalgia, practicality, and a touch of absurdity.
Early Rides and Hollywood Connections
Davidson’s first car was a Mazda 6 gifted by a friend of his late firefighter father—a vehicle he fondly remembers. His transition to buying cars took a turn when he purchased a Jeep Grand Cherokee, which he admits to not enjoying. This led him toward acquiring vehicles with deeper personal or professional meaning.
His collection now includes Tony Soprano’s Escalade and the Cadillac de Ville owned by The Sopranos actor Tony Sirico. This isn’t about status; Davidson casually drops these details as if discussing any other hobby. He collects cars that resonate with him, reflecting a rare seriousness beneath his comedic persona.
The Stealth Minivan and Why It Matters
Seeking a low-profile vehicle, Davidson briefly owned a Honda Odyssey minivan but abandoned it when the dealership publicly revealed his purchase. This highlights a common struggle for celebrities: the difficulty of maintaining privacy even with unremarkable purchases.
Now, with a child on the way, Davidson is again pursuing an Odyssey. His latest iteration is a 2022 Touring model extensively modified by professional drifter Tony Angelo of StayTuned.
The Ultimate Family Vehicle: Customization Details
Davidson’s Odyssey isn’t just stealthy; it’s a fully-equipped mobile lounge. Modifications include:
- A Traxda two-inch leveling kit and Nomad Convoy wheels with Falken all-terrain tires.
- A Sony portable VHS player integrated with the factory rear entertainment system.
- Bolt-on performance upgrades like an aFe Power cold air intake and Valvetronic exhaust.
- Practical additions such as Rigid ditch lights, an ARB awning, a Dometic refrigerator, and solar panels.
- A baby bottle warmer.
Davidson jokingly describes it as “middle-lane pimping” or “what would happen if 50 Cent made a minivan.” The customizations underscore his commitment to making the vehicle both comfortable and functional.
The comedian’s car obsession isn’t about flaunting wealth; it’s about finding vehicles that align with his lifestyle, whether that means owning a piece of television history or creating the ultimate family ride. It’s a blend of personal taste, practicality, and a willingness to embrace the unexpected.
