That is the ultimate Santa Barbara spec. I think it might actually self-destruct if you try and take it out of Southern California.

Comes with a stack of movie scripts and a bottle of Viagra in the frunk, too.

I had not fully appreciated that there is such a thing as a non Winter vehicle, until I lived on the West Coast. You really see the difference underneath the cars when you’re poking around doing diligence before a purchase.

So it is funny.

Nah… it would be able to go to Vegas or Arizona. But you’d better be careful with trying to drive it any further East!
