10 Things You Didn't Know About Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

7. She Once Bought Herself A Car... Even Though She Couldn't Drive

After her first successful modelling job in a commercial - which was with Levi's, by the way - Huntington-Whiteley decided that she would use her paycheck to buy a car, something that he parents agreed was a good idea. No matter that she was just 16 at the time and - more importantly - she didn't actually know how to drive. "I thought that would be the one and only time I would ever get paid for modelling so I spent all of my first cheque on a Ford Ka," she explained. "Even though I couldn't drive." Apparently the car - a symbol of her first success, as it were - sat unused in the garage for years and years. And guess what? She still can't drive to this very day, having never had time to fit the lessons into her busy schedule. You have to wonder: is it still in the garage?
