Coleman has a prized possession of two Cadillac Escalades, both of which are trophies from his bodybuilding conquests. Each had a nice customized interior and a music system, which costs around $15,000. But, it was this very sound system set up, that once got completely robbed from the car.Speaking about his experience, Ronnie said that this happened while he took his daughter to a mall. And, the robbers just about cleaned everything out of the car. He said, “Someone stole all the stereo equipment out of it in about five minutes flat. When I came out, all five TVs were gone, all the speakers were gone, and the amps were all gone. They just took everything, even my CDs.”
And not surprisingly, this car happened to be his favorite!
Retracing the Coleman lifestyle
Unlike the general population who feel the drudgery of working out, Ronnie feels all charged up to go about it. For him, it was his biggest hobby.
