And finally there’s his Jeep Wrangler which was gifted to him by the “Plastic Cup Boyz” after the success of his massive “What Now?” comedy tour. It was actually on track to become one of the biggest comedy tours ever and he’s one of the few comedians to ever fill a stadium. “I call her ‘Jeep Nasty’ and she’s heavily modified. It’s a Rubicon and was a gift from my guys after our ‘What Now?’ tour that broke so many records, they surprised me with it at the Lincoln Financial Field.” With a large fleet of rides, Hart admits that he gives them all love, but has a few that get extra. He likes to keep low mileage on his old schools and Ferrari, while driving the Jeep, G-Wagons and Sprinter more while doing his everyday tasks. “I’m blessed enough to be in a position of having a rotation of rides and can obtain a hobby like this I can actually afford,” he admits.

For all of his automotive needs, Hart goes to his boys at Stealth Motorworks in Van Nuys, CA. Owner Chris Mills has been friends with Hart for the last 20 years and he’s been helping with his car collection for the last four years. “The most challenging build was the 1967 Eleanor Mustang that was built from the ground up at Stealth Motorworks,” he confesses. “Nothing in it is stock and everything on it was replaced with high-performance products and custom-built parts, powered by a 650 hp, 427 all-aluminum engine, custom-built for this car. The handling is tight with front and rear independent suspension system. This car is a true beast with nothing but the best on it.” As a car lover, Hart has seen a lot of vehicles that Mills has had over the years and admires his taste in customizations, allowing him to design his cars the way Mills would do his own. “It’s great working with Kevin because not only is he a mega superstar but he is a down to earth personal friend so that just makes business run smooth with us because of the trust factor that we have built through the years.”
