Axl Guns for Car Dealership

Axl Rose has an axe to grind over some missing wheels.

The reclusive Guns N' Roses frontman has turned his appetite for destruction on a Beverly Hills auto dealership, targeting it with a lawsuit over a deal gone bad.

Rose claims that he had an oral agreement with Beverly Hills Classic Cars to deliver two luxury sports cars after he paid a deposit of $20,000, per the suit filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

But, the "Patience" purveyor says, the dealer never made good on the promised 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo and a 2005 Porsche GT3.

Further, Rose says, the dealer failed to pay him $135,000 for selling his Ferrari Marinello on consignment.

The owners of Beverly Hills Classic Cars were out of town at the Detroit Auto Show and could not be reached for comment.

The flame-haired rocker was also not immediately available to discuss his suit. But that's nothing new. He's been lying low these days since his 2002 Guns N' Roses comeback tour, featuring a revamped lineup, imploded.

The ill-fated road show was supposed to support the Gunners' seemingly mythical Chinese Democracy album, but it remains unfinished with no release in sight.

Former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash recently told a Philadelphia radio station that he had heard Rose was planning a March unveiling for Chinese Democracy. However, according to Guns N' Roses management, no date has been set.

Slash also said that while he and Rose weren't speaking, they were no longer feuding.

As for Rose, he's had as much success in lawsuits of late as he has putting out a new Guns N' Roses album.

In 2004, he was on the losing end of two legal decisions. He lost a bid for an injunction blocking Geffen Records' from putting out Guns N' Roses Greatest Hits, and he was also outgunned in court when he tried to stop the release of Cleopatra Records' The Roots of Guns N' Roses, a collection of tracks recorded before the band's multiplatinum 1987 breakthrough, Appetite for Destruction.
