To keep it automotive… Went to an exotic car dealer yesterday. They had a McLaren Elva on the floor. To top, no windshield and compartments for the full face helmets you have to wear. Stupid and ugly. Expensive, of course.
Speaking of McLarens, I see this grocery-getter fairly often when I do my Sunday grocery shopping. I think that it’s a 675 model. In a parking lot that usually contains a bunch of Tesla Model X, Porsche Panamera & Cayenne, BMW 7-series, and some other pricey vehicles, this McLaren attracts a lot of attention.
I didn’t bother to check the tires.
Bingo!
On one occasion, I saw the driver–who appeared to be in his late 60s. My first thought was… How does he get into and out of that extremely low-slung car?
My second thought was… Where does he put the groceries?
Another interesting thought is that he most likely drove it cross-country in order to get to Princeton. Please note the CA plates.
I was gonna ask you why you drove across the country to buy groceries… lol.
I thought Cali cars had to have a front tag also?? Are exotics exempt?? although I have no idea where you would put it…
Pffffttttt, getting in it is the easy part, getting out is the trick…
Well, not quite. Derrick Bieri says it on Roadworthy Rescues. I imagine he uses the term on his YouTube show Vice Grip Garage too. I think it’s a fun term and I’ll use it too.
