I watched that earlier.. it's cool seeing the quirks.
Nobody talks about it, bc nobody has one.. and it's not the top of the charts anywhere.. yet it's priced like it is.

the LFA. There's one here in N Houston that gets driven around in traffic from time to time.
Definitely one of my tops, especially for that exhaust note, who needs a stereo.

I like the new Doug score. If you haven't watched the first one where he explains the score I recommend watching it. As for the LF-A review, Doug showed some things about the car that surely put it in the "weird" category. But, I've said it before, The LF-A is the best sounding car this side of a Ferrari. Kudos to Yamaha (yes Yamaha) for tuning the exhaust.

I've never seen a Bugatti Type 35 being driven. That thing makes cool sounds and handles quite well with "bike tires". Check out the vid.

Cool ass car and video. Learn a lot of things about the car nobody talks about it any tests or magazines or anything. Especially the interior accoutrements.

Looks like I45 southbound just north of I10, gets a little lower/deeper just past there. Would be surprised if he made it to the more elevated area a little further.

Might be questionable how real this is.

But either way, something interesting (at least in Texas) is that you can only use your horn "when necessary to insure safe operation." Otherwise the charge is excessive use of horn and is an arrestable offense.

It's legit

If he was sitting on a green light.. I'd say that's super unsafe.

Clickbait for sure. I'd take a Lambo or Ferrari any day over this bit of coachwork. But, dayum does that exhaust note sound amazing. The carbon fiber work looks fantastic too.
