Manchester player drives K13 Micra; earns equivalent of 44 Micras a month

[MetroMPG]

Manchester City football (soccer) star Jesus Navas reportedly makes about £90,000 a week.

Guess what £8,000 car he drives to practice?

The Spaniard drives the small, affordable motor, while most of his team mates turn up to training in luxury cars such as Bentleys.

A source says that the team mates of Navas can't understand why he drives such a small car but takes the jokes about it in good spirits.

Hmm... £90,000 a week is ~11 Micras... or 44 Micras per month... 528 per year...

Not following the sport, I don't really know what that means. :P (But I'm guessing it's a slur on City vs. United.)

But at least now we know the answer to: What Would Jesus Drive?

Good on him. Sure he makes all that money but he is being wise with it. I've said myself if I lucked in I would buy a fully armed and loaded Micra SR just to maintain a lower profile and leave me more room for investing.

Plus in the UK insurance is crazy expensive, particularly for younger folk.
