Default LEXUS LFA SPOTTED!!!!!! in GARDEN GROVE, CA

Hey Everyone,
Was driving on Westminster near Brookhurst heading to the Bank of America last week. Suddenly, I spot an exotically shaped car driving in the opposite lane towards Brookhurst. So, I slow down to look and immediately knew that it was the LFA. Right in the that moment I bust out my phone (risking a ticket) and start snapping away. The driver of the LFA didn't look to happy while I was snapping pictures of him (haha) but who cares. So instead of going to the bank, what do I do; I flip a U-turn and catch up to the LFA which was being trailed by 3 other Toyotas. They pull into the Target on Brookhurst and park. I follow them in like a paparazzi following Britney Spears. With a giant grin on my face I start to take a couple more pictures. The quality isn't great because of my phone camera. Anyways enjoy.

Thanks for sharing the pics.

That's the same front end from the one spotted a few weeks ago, that everyone was saying is likely a plug-in hybrid.

Interesting.....
