I have an open invitation to drive the GF's dad's McLaren 650S on country roads

and then I find out today he's ditching his "around the town" Escape for something a little more eco-friendly.

A P90D.

In red.

With Ludicrous Speed Launch Control.

This is really wierding me out as my friend has both a P90 and a 650s.

He also has a daughter but she is like 9 years old and my brain is like what the gently caress.

Dude is filthy loving rich but doesn't come off like that, and thankfully he likes me. I think I threw him for a loop when I finally said "Yeah I'll drive the McLaren", wasn't expecting that.

And gently caress those sideshow idiots. How loving long does it take for a cop to show up when jackholes are blocking an entire intersection, for gently caress's sake?
I'm mildly surprised someone didn't end up under one of the cars.


You must not be familiar with the East Bay. Sideshows can grow to be huge loving events which are probably more hazardous for LEOs than the spectators or participants. I can't be bothered to find the videos, but there are cases of law enforcement being attacked for trying to break these things up. I think CHP still does try to break them up when they're on the freeway though. Aslo, if you get run the gently caress over for participating in one of these things, it's your own fault.

Yeah. My mate keeps on saying he's going to get some track time in the McLaren.

There's a supercar meet at a local raceway every few months and he says that no one wants to go with him and I'm the only one that puts their hand up to go.

Same mate when we were 18 drove my car through a computer shop window. Auto car and had both feet on the pedals and hit the wrong pedal when parking.

8k damage to the shop, 120 bucks to the car. (n12 Pulsar in 90s cream/beige.

There was a McDonalds next door and it just so happened that the majority of my grade 12 classmates we're hanging our other and all came out to see what the commotion was about. He didn't love that one down for a while.

Also for consideration, the F1 would be seconds faster with hot tires.

Really puts the "twin. turbos. kick. in" ad into perspective (yes I know it's not the same model of 300ZX)

Alternately, just shows how nuts the old 500cc 2-stroke GP bikes are.
