The entertainment industry is characterized by glitz, glamour and splendour. Cars in Ghana and the world at large represent a form of wealth or success hence some celebrities and socialites conduct their business in and around the city in their luxury automobiles. Some including dancehall artiste Shatta Wale, can sometimes be spotted with their entourage all riding exotic cars that cost an arm and a leg to just to show the world they have it. From the movie stars to the musicians and socialites, the acquisition and flaunting of expensive vehicles has become a common trend that threatens to grow or perhaps slow down with the arrival of this new levy.
