Saw this guy on Sunday:
(found the pic by random web search for "teal brz".) lol



There was maybe a half inch of rear tire actually touching the ground.

Saw my first McLaren 650S.

It parked right next to me as I waited for a traffic light to turn green. The thing was friggen GORGEOUS. I took a pic of it and was going to post it, but my pic was too large and didn't feel like resizing it.

Anyway, I looked up the performance specs:

"The 650S has a claimed top speed of 333 km/h (207 mph), and can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 3 seconds and from 0–200 km/h (0–124 mph) in 8.4 seconds."

In-fucking-credible.

I think it's safe to say that driving a McLaren would be better than sex....

....or pretty damn close to it anyway.

And the scary thing is, the 650S is NOT the fastest McLaren. I believe there is another one (P1 ??) that costs quite a bit more (about $1 million) and probably has performance specs that is even more impressive.

I hadn't seen a Eurovan in ages... Then saw 2 within a 1/2 mile when in CA a couple weeks ago...

As for modern Lambos, I see a few every week... Not that unusual...

I'd say about half are black, and the other half are bright colors - yellow, orange and blue... Unicorn to me is white or silver
