Have you not seen the awful poo poo thread? On a car like that, yeah no way they just painted it, but I put nothing past the stupidity of people.

To be fair, vwvortex has been consistent proof that yes, idiots will do something like that. See: rust paint

Just another boring day in the 2 minute drive from my house to the 101 this morning:



Not pictured at the same shop: A marine-green Veyron, silver Porsche Carerra GT, black on black Viper T/A, whatever is next to the Pagani (I had a bit of target fixation I'm afraid), and a 'frozen white' competition package E92 M3.

My sad-rear end 100% bone stock 20k mile Space Gray M3 was the shittiest car in the lot.

Nah, it's in the Valley. SoCal has some sick cars, but I think that Pagani is the wildest thing I've seen actually out and about.

There's a couple/few Huayra's in the LA area, along with a couple other Paganis, and a couple more in the Bay area. That would be loving sweet to see IRL and I wish Houston had any kind of car scene. Its such a big city, and there's really not much here outside the Cars & Coffee stuff you'd usually see.

Close. It's a seat cooler, and, if you're not careful, a nut adjuster.

I never understood why seemingly every car enthusiast talks about how good Pagani interiors look. It's like they conflate the car being a great car and the interior being made of expensive materials as "good interior".

I think a gaudy interior works when made of expensive materials. Also, I kind of like the Buck Rogers aesthetic.

That said, I also like this:

If there were brushed aluminum/chrome instead of carbon fiber/chrome it would be indistinguishible from a 50s move spaceship. I think they nailed the look.

Oh hey, that's Alice's. There's usually something interesting parked up there, even on weekdays. I love doing the 35/9/84 loopback when I'm down there. But if you're a night owl and like freeway shenanigans, 3AM in LA can turn interesting fast.

Speaking of silicon valley, some friends and I were hanging out recently -



The Vette is a Z51 with the 7 speed manual, and the 458 owner ordered it so he could have one of the last of the NA 458s. It's LOUD

I lived about 100 yards from there in the early 2000s. I would usually be woken up on weekends by motorcycles screaming up the first southbound straightaway on 35 departing Alice's. Then I'd fire up my TL1000S and join in. Good times.

Also speaking of carseats, there was a mom at my daughter's preschool who daily drove a tracked out '86 guards red 911 with a Recaro carseat in it. It was never not amazing.

I used to live in the area too and really miss it. The peninsula is so loving beautiful, I wish I could take my (pedal) bike back there and just ride for a year.
