Long time no update...but found out why they demo'd the building you see so much in the background of my pics...there's a new Lexus Dealership going up. Saw the big sign today as they turned it around for the public to see. Lexus of Newport Beach...this is going to be a big dealerhsip.

All the suits are here today for the "ground breaking"

Wait that building is apart of a Lexus dealership. What is it a Lexus corporate site?

Anybody seen the new Mercedes CLK DTM in town?
MB of Laguna Niguel brought one in- there are exactly two of them in the US now - it's the only one on the West Coast..

580 hp supercharged V8 in a 209 chassis CLK with widebody & roll cage- a beautiful thing!

Saw this today on the way home and all i have to say is, this is not VIP. I was sitting at the light waiting to make a U turn when i noticed a reflection of someone's wheels rotating. So i inched forward to see who the hell is running 17-18" spinners...low and behold...it was a lexus LS



Im so sad to see such a nice VIP car be like this.

on a lighter note, i did see this leaving my office today

No explanation necessary.

LOL c'mon u know i live in the heart of car culture...oh there's this dad that takes his boy to school at our daughter's school in a Ferrari 430? something like that; roadster. anyway, his clutch isnt going to last more than 10k because he cant drive it, especially in the stop and go drop off line in the morning and afternoon...i'll have to get my wife to snap a pic of this beast.

also saw an older bodystyle white S class w/ purple flames on it!!!! blah!
