Did anyone else almost puke on a McLaren F1 today?

cars and coffee - so i'm leaning over the door sill when i suddenly burped a little, and it had a bubble of heartburn along for the ride. focus...must not spit up coffee and stomach juice in the $4 million car....back away 😱

the car is in pretty shabby shape already (despite very few miles driven)...lots of chips, peeling coating in the engine bay, a pretty dirty interior including dried blood on the door, et cetera. did you know the pneumatic tube that holds up the hood is exactly the same as the ones in the trunk of any 90's japanese econobox?

(all pics taken after the cars were locked up, presumably to prevent people from puking in them)

i presume this is the tax disc i've heard of. the car is a 1994, and in the states for at least 10 years. the car is currently unregistered for use.

every bit as wonderful as you've been lead to believe. the diffuser starts a foot and a half before the massive rear wheels do.

this one is a 2008. another reasonable value i think, and better condition than the mclaren. is the 3rd seat worth an extra $2.5 million? maybe.

lexus lfa. not to my liking in any color. this one matches the owner's ferrari daytonas.

not photographed:
a pair of red 458 italias - beautiful, disappointingly quiet at idle. the quilted interior in 1 of them looked like the better choice.

a few candy-colored lamborghinis - meh

lambo aventador - matte black. still meh.

lots of corvettes in all kinds of condition and trim

1961 chrysler imperial lebaron sedan - black, tough condition, but still fabulous. no b pillars, power windows, stainless steel trim panels in the roof, rear a/c, more ornamentation than a christmas tree. how many bodies can you fit in the trunk? all of them.

rolls royce ghost - 20 tons of solid happiness, and i do mean solid. the switchgear makes apple products look like playskool. the car is so quiet, you might go mad from the sound of your own breathing. as soon as i shut the bank vault/space station door, the din from the crowd was absolutely suppressed, like peasants should be. this car is so incredibly good, i'd choose it before a so-called supercar.

You sound like a guy that thinks that toyota corrolla is the most beautiful car ever made.

which years for the corolla?

the event was cars and coffee, this one hosted at a local luxury dealership. it was the last gathering of the year. very casual, very fun. i didn't bother with many pics, since it's all over the internet anyway.

once the police detail left, the 2nd 458 to leave lit it up out of the parking lot. i don't know if it was cold tires or what, but he got it out of shape and the computer saved him from a wipeout.
 
update:
i went to a big car meet at patriot place last week, and the chrysler i like so much was there

it would be a pleasure to be run down by such a fine-looking automobile
 
I don't generally like the LFA but I actually do like that color. When I go on the Porsche website to build a 911 (which I do from time to time), I usually end up with a metallic brown car.
 
F1's are going for 4mil these days?!?! Damn!

I'm not a huge fan of late model Lambo's but black Aventador's are just evil looking, in a good way.
