Default Keys to a Lexus LFA - Road Trip to Lexus HQ

Lexus HQ contacted me and asked if i would like to come to their headquarters in Torrance, CA and drive the LFA for about 30 minutes. I said hell ya! Drove down, had lunch with them and then got the keys........and for at least an hour and half. We rolled around the los angeles area and even down to the beach to take some pictures. This car is down right beastly!!!!

anyway here is some pics from the road trip and also from the day itself.

jadu: i think having almost 100,000,000 youtube video views, as well as a very large web presence in other areas, might have something to do with it

all i know is, with that many views, you NEVER know who is watching. thats the only way i can describe how someone like me could ever get a chance to do something like this.

Glad you had a great time. Black and yellow looks good together. I like the one of both cars facing each other with the water in the background.

Congrats! You're a lucky man. I too think your business has something to do with it. So you had the car all to yourself without any Lexus oversight ruining the fun? I'm curious to what were all the unusual "Dos and Don'ts" speech and fine print before they handed over the keys...
