Car, Car Baby: Not to be outdone by rap rival M. C. Hammer, Vanilla Ice bought a $300,000 Porsche. But the custom-built convertible needs a paint job, from pearl blue to . . .vanilla. John Reaves, owner of Precision Imports in Tulsa, Okla., said the 1988 car will be shipped to Ice’s Miami residence this week. The car is one of four Porsches by European designer Uwe Gemballa; Hammer also has a Gemballa-built car. Ice’s Porsche will include a 1,600-watt stereo system that works by infrared beams.
