Beanie Sigel, The Philly rapper, had a friend rescue his Maserati from impound a short time before it was placed on the auction block.

According to the Philadelphia Daily News, an undisclosed friend paid about $1,700 in outstanding tickets on Sigel's car, freeing the 2005 Maserati from a Philadelphia Parking Authority impound lot just 12 hours before it was to be sold at auction.

The car was reportedly booted and towed in South Philly a month ago.

PPA spokeswoman Linda Miller could not identify who picked up Sigel's Maserati, though she did confirm it had been recovered.

Sigel's fourth album, The Solution, dropped yesterday (Dec. 11) with guest spots from R. Kelly, Scarface, Styles P, and Raheem DeVaughn.

Beans claims he made his own lane on this release, which he calls his best work to date. The timing couldn't be better considering that the Broad Street Bully faces off with Omarion & Bow Wow, The-Dream and Wu-Tang Clan on his release date.
