So when I was walking by Keyes Mercedes today (on Van Nuys) the owner of Keyes was there showing off his brand new Lambo to the dealers.

He then pulled out of the parking lot and raced down the street. It is such a hot car. But so impractical. You can't realistically drive it around town. It is extremely low so it won't take long to scratch up the front. Plus driving in traffic with such a car would suck.

only practical reason i can think of is what the italians police do - moving donor organs around as fast as possible by road -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 3, 05:06
when I lived in Vancouver and commuted across one of the bridges I'd see a guy in a Diablo almost every day. he never looked upset to be stuck there. -- nm - mafic May 2, 22:10
Yeah, we have a traditional SoCal 'dip' in the road outside our place. People scrape on that around the clock :) - MojaveMeg May 2, 22:03 1
- Yup, a dip like that would just kill the front end on the Lambo. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 2, 22:04
aren't they just west of the 101? if so, he had to pull out at 10 mph. you're right, the traffic sucks there -- nm - peglegpete May 2, 21:54 4
- Van Nuys blvd is pretty empty and wide, for about 2 blocks. And then you hit traffic. And there are cops around there usually. Yeah, not a very fun - James Bond (aka Igor) May 2, 22:02 3
  - there used to be a good cheesesteak place further west on the same block as Ken Cranes -- nm - peglegpete May 2, 22:06 2
    - *shrug* All I know is the car dealerships around there. :) -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 2, 22:07 1
      - there is a good Greek place at Reseda & Victory. they are the old fire station on the SE corner -- nm - peglegpete May 2, 22:27
It's a toy, for show. He may never drive it again after he puts it in the garage. -- nm - Mop May 2, 21:53
plus the monthly payments are like $5,000 -- nm - black dynamite May 2, 21:52 2
- I've heard that few are ever financed, most are purchased with a check or wire transfer -- nm - zeitgeist May 2, 22:50
- You should see the new Keyes Lexus dealership. That place is insanely nice. Probably makes huge money. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 2, 22:03
