Sometimes you have to go against the grain. In the case of the Detroit Pistons' masked shooting guard Richard "Rip†Hamilton, that means coppin' somethin' foreign in a city that was built Ford tough. n "This is the city of Fords,†says Hamilton, whose nickname stems from his father, "Bi Rip,†ripping his diapers off as a baby. "But there's no pressure to ride American. Of course, if you work for Ford, they don't want you riding in imports.†n Hamilton doesn't always take chances, though. Just look at his newest toy, a blue 2006 Aston Martin DB9 . . . . Ford owns Aston Martin, ya dig?
