HOLY SH*T!

I would cause an accident if i saw that on the road...

Did you catch a glimpse at who was behind the wheel? Thanks for the cool pic. Was that on the 405? Everytime I'm in L.A. I see cool cars.

There's a black McLaren running around Lake Forest/Irvine. Don't if it's the same one. Young (30-40's) asian driver. I see it only on weekends. Last time I saw it was 4/24 going on Bake toward 405.

I was driving through Wishire on Tuesday and was feeling like the coolest guy on the road after having my headers and cats installed that same day. UNTIL, I spotted a dark gray Gallardo parked next to one of the bars close to Western Ave. Needless to say, my 'cool guy' feeling factor dropped a few points after that.

Yeah, it was on the 405 near Santa Monica. The guy turned off at LAX though. I wish I could have caught it from the side!

I live in an OK neighborhood - upper middle class.

I came home and one of my neighbors had a GT 308 parked on the street. A month later or so he had a Ferrari Spider parked there!

Come to find out the guy works for a prop shop working for the movie industry and the cars were rentals for movies that he some times takes home for safe(r) keeping. I got to get the know the guy better so I can ask for a test drive next movie.

There's an older lady that lives in my city with a Rolls Royce that I see going to the Dairy Queen and McDonald's drive throughs.

We do have the car culture big time here.

Saleen factory is off Rockfield and Bake. There is also a yellow one that gets taken out.

I have a client right by it and have seen quite a few of them drive by.


BTW, I kept getting tail gated by an SL55 last night on FWY 110. What's up with that? Just pass me a-hole. These nice cars with no manners.

Yes it's ridiculous here in Southern Cali...I see a handful of nice cars on my commute every morning.

It's twice as nuts up in L.A. but it's a shame we're all stuck in traffic!

Quite humbling for a V10 or V12 chastized to a 3-4mph roll on the 5 freeway.

You know, every single time I hit up Laguna Beach, I see another Carrera GT.. happened twice in the last month.

First one I saw was silver, then a yellow one.

I guess those rich single bachelors have nothing better to do than cruise around LB with the top down, making us sports car enthusiasts drool. Grr...
