Something you really dont see everyday.
So, I live in LA blah blah blah. I see it all in the the world of cars all the time. Most things dont phase me anymore. Not even when I see an old man driving an Esparante on the 405.
But yesterday, I saw something in the ultra rare category. I saw it on Santa Monica Blvd and 6th as I walking to the promenade for some lunch. I didn't snap any photos, but I had to finally give in and look it up online, and here it is same color and all.
Just had to post it because its one of the really rare sightings.

Considering what it offers it seems reasonably priced.

On 11th/Santa Monica on the north side of the street is a tire shop where every now and then you'll see a silver Lambo Countach.
south one black on Broadway and Euclid (instead of 13th) there is a ferrari repair place with all sorts of older/newer models. A little east of that on the same street is a shop specializing in old english cars.
An aside from that you just have the people with tons of money bumming around in their pricey rides.

No salt on the roads to destroy the cars here unlike Newd Hampster or Massholeville

Hobby/business, getting rid of the Cuda to get a Super Bee. He said if the cuda was a hemi he would have never thought about selling it. It made business sense to sell the car to take on another venture.

Not really meaning to jack a hijack but regarding the OP:
It does look like a lot of car for the money ( in that realm) but in reality if it were my money I would have to buy a F430. Certainly not as fast in a straight line but in a year the Ferrari would be worth 90%+ what I paid, this thing would depreciate like a Yugo with herpes. Plus, when hurtling down the front straight of a track at 160+ I would feel much better in what I consider a well vetted machine.
I must say though that is a hell of a spot! In pure odds (leaving out the location) its near powerball numbers.

I just figured with it being a real rarity it was worth posting.
