Sweet Lambo. Is it just me or does Newport Beach have too many nice cars?

Ha - maybe that's the whole point! After having gone broke buying the Lambo, the guy can't afford to send his wife to the mall in the SUV.

Door dings?........I thought this car had a dent-proof fiberglass body like a 'Vette.
Oh, well, the paint will still scratch.

Just before, we were across the street in the shopping plaza on Avocado; in there was a new 360 Modena. At Cafe Pannini a lowered black S600 with 20" Lowenharts parked next to me...what a sweet looking machine. Had rolled fenders too...

Newport Beach has lots of nice cars for sure.
