After a custody battle with Kevin Federline and several bouts of bat-shit insanity, she seems to have settled into a groove, producing club hits that rely less on her lacking vocals and more on clever mixing, heavy processing, salacious lyrics, and catchy beats. She retains a massive following and an intensely loyal fanbase.
She�s doing well enough, at least, to drive a new Mercedes every couple of years.

Here�s a few cars that she�s owned, some current and some former, in no particular order:
Mercedes SLK 350
MSRP: $54,800
0-60: 5.4 seconds
Engine: 3.5L V6
Output: 268hp
Curb Weight: 3,300 lbs
She managed to get it stuck in a ditch just weeks after buying it.

2006 Mercedes CLK 350
MSRP: $57,575
0-60: 6.3 seconds
Engine: 3.5L V6
Output: 268hp
Curb Weight: 3,213 lbs
This car is now in a museum. In 2007 she plowed into a car at a drug store parking lot and drove off because she didn�t have a valid drivers license. The state of California has never issued her a license, with Spears insisting that she was still a permanent resident of Louisiana. The hit and run charge was later dismissed. She also had a habit of running red lights and wreaking havoc all over Southern California.
This car was sold on eBay in 2010 with an opening price of $39,000.
The CLK is intended to look like the more expensive E-class but shares its underpinnings with the cheaper C-class.

2008 Mercedes SL65 AMG
MSRP: $187,200
0-60: 3.6 seconds (Car and Driver), 4.2 seconds (official)
Engine: 6.0L V12
Output: 604hp
Curb Weight: 4,100 lbs
Having solved all crimes, the LAPD was available to give her a police escort when she went to buy her new car.

Mini Cooper S Convertible
MSRP: $27,850
0-60: 6.5 seconds
Engine: 1.6L Turbo I-4
Output: 173hp
Curb Weight: 2,811 lbs
Fun, dependable, low key, and within reasonable affordability of her now-lower budget. In 2008, after she went nuts, her father was given temporary control of her assets and liquidated her most expensive vehicles.

Ferrari 360 Spyder (Rental)
MSRP: $200,000
0-60: 4.3 seconds
Engine: 3.6L V8
Output: 400 hp
Curb Weight: 2,976 lbs
When she was 19, she damaged the transmission by shifting to second gear at 85mph. The car swerved across two lanes of traffic before screeching to a halt. Repairs exceeded $25,000.

Second-generation Audi A8
MSRP: $69,000
0-60: 6.6 seconds
Engine: 4.2L V8
Output: 345 hp
Curb Weight: 3,800 lbs
The stealthy and classy A8 is an unusually wise choice, a way to travel in comfort without being chased, harassed, or photographed.

With her colorful history of tickets, mechanical failures, and accidents, she�s a prime candidate for a Rolls Royce with a hired driver.
