Lexus LFA
Believe it or not I was toying with the orange option too. Too over the top for my tastes. My preference is for blue or black. One thing I forgot to mention previously, when you get up close to the back of the car and look into the vents in the bumper, you can easily see the cooling system which I think is awesome. As some chefs say, "season to taste", some like the car and others would pick something else. I honestly don't like the Lambos enough to put my Pesos down on one of them. Just not for me. Personal preference.

Actually, Top Gear was all about the Nissan GTR so I'm pretty sure they'd give this one a fair shake too.
I have to say that the Aventador got some RAVING reviews, if I were dropping that kinda money I'd probably test that too. I know you know what you're looking for.

Abcdecanc#1...I will be the first in line to suggest that we put your house, MDX and Pilot up for sale, cancel the LFA purchase let them keep the deposit. And we go and buy 2 of those in the video above.
IF you're willing, I will relocate and promise you to be available for a nice brisk Sunday ride around a path of your choice EVERY Sunday for the rest of my days.
Savvy?

2.) We have only the Pilot. I want to upgrade to the MDX if my wife wants it. As of yet, she sees no purpose in that purchase.
3.) If I am going to be as nutty about not letting the LFA out of my sight, I would want an armed Swat Team with full Tac Gear standing guard if I had the Venom GT.
4.) It is quite expensive to live around the New York area, so you would need to figure out what you could do for a living. You will not be on my payroll.

I appreciate your excitement. I have been having difficulty falling asleep the past few nights because I am so excited. I'm actually thinking about going over to Japan to visit the factory while they are building the car and meet the technicians who are crafting it. I have always wanted to visit Japan, as it is such a beautiful country and amazing history. Just a rambling.

But, personally, for a million bucks, it's not offering a whole lot in other departments. I'd honestly rather spend that money in either Italy or even better, Sweden where the power, speed, & even more interior luxury is matched.
This is worth the half hour watch.
No one handed me anything. My success has come from more than 20 years of discipline, sweat equity and hard work.

...and a pinch of luck! There are plenty of people that work HARD and never get wealthy!
About your list:
1.) I love my house and don't want to sell it. - I wasn't asking, i was telling you we're selling it.
2.) We have only the Pilot. I want to upgrade to the MDX if my wife wants it. As of yet, she sees no purpose in that purchase. - Same as response 1
3.) If I am going to be as nutty about not letting the LFA out of my sight, I would want an armed Swat Team with full Tac Gear standing guard if I had the Venom GT. - I can do security too. Not the biggest, strongest or best trained, but I am tenacious.
4.) It is quite expensive to live around the New York area, so you would need to figure out what you could do for a living. You will not be on my payroll. - I will sleep in the car and eat scraps from the streets. Wasn't expecting you to be my sugar Daddy...just my friend that buys me a million dollar car and enjoys a duet drive every Sunday morning.

That is all.

Ok a little luck. It is a very good thing to have a sense of humor. All in good fun.
On a side note, a friend of mine had a very bad day. His beloved mountain dog just got hit by a kid fucking around trying to show off to his friends this morning. The kid apparently modified his older M3 and tried to use a private neighborhood street as a race track, lost control and ran over the dog, went through two yards and ended up upside down on top of a third neighbor's MB. Cops got him and cuffed him on the spot. This is how fucked up it was, my friend did not know that his dog was hit until he did not see her in the yard. When he realized that she was missing, he followed the wreckage path and found pieces of her. She was a 115 lb dog so hitting her at the speed the kid must have been traveling would be like hitting a deer I guess. My friend needed to be restrained. I would have too if I were him.

JP is a fairly intimidating guy being a retired Marine. He is the kind of guy you want to stand next to in a bar when shit is going down. He has to be 6'6" and 280 so to have him running up to the accident scene must have been a sight. He is the nicest guy, great father to his girls and the dog was a present to his daughters after his wife died from cancer. He served three tours and has more medals than I can think of. In other words he can handle himself so I can't imagine how terrified the kid was seeing JP run up to him at the scene spitting bullets. He is very lucky he was not armed at the time.
